Minecraft has been on the gaming market for more than four years now. Unsurprisingly, many people are still playing it. What could be the prime reason gamers are still enjoying this game? Is it that addictive? What are the aspects that regular video game players saw that are making them play it for that long? Does this game will ever get old in the eyes of gamers?

It is safe to say that the answer for that last question will be a no. Why? Well, it is a fact that Minecraft is not story driven. It does not make use of NPCs to relay a story, and there is no story to tell anyway. Alternatively, the players of this game do not need to fulfill any quest. They are perfectly to do anything that they want. Fundamentally, it does not provide any goal that a player must achieve. Actually, there are some, but they are not essential to the players progress in the world. In a nutshell, it has a game without an ending. It is up to the player to decide when he will stop.

So, what is the element that is keeping Minecraft fans playing the game? The answer to that is a bit tricky, and it depends upon the player. That element is the players creativity. As long as they have something they think they can do in Minecraft, they will do it. In a certain extent, one can say that Minecraft is a tool an excellent tool for unleashing ones imagination and enabling ones desire to create.

Of course, people have their limits. They cannot do the same thing every time or look at the same world all of the time. Too much playing and seeing the same thing over and over and over again will trigger a certain emotion boredom.

With that statement, another question arises. How can Minecraft prevent their players from getting bored? That is an easy question to answer. Customization. Customization has been the core trait or feature of Minecraft that has kept its players playing. By allowing the players to customize the games content, the players are actually creating a new game for themselves. It might be still Minecraft, but due to customization, players have the ability to make their games turn stale and dreary.

Try to observe the other games in the market. What do they have in common nowadays? DLCs. Downloadable Content. With those snippets of the game, players can add something new to their old game, which put them under the illusion of they are doing or playing something new.

In Minecraft, almost everything can be customized. And the book will focus on customizable textures. For those who are unfamiliar with textures, try to digest the following explanation. Textures are image files that are used to paint the world of Minecraft. Every block in Minecraft is covered with textures. A good analogy for it is a gift box. A gift box is just a regular box that is covered with a gift wrapper. And in the Minecraft world, the blocks are the gift boxes, and the textures are the gift wrappers.

Now, on the internet, you can download numerous texture packs. Fundamentally, texture packs are files that contain a preset number of textures. And if you download and install them, you will have the option to change how your Minecraft world will appear on your screen. To put it simply, you are getting new gift wrappers for all the gifts you have under the Christmas tree.

Since there are hundreds of texture packs that can be downloaded on the internet, it becomes difficult for players to find the texture pack they want to see on their Minecraft game. This book is the solution for that problem. After this introduction is a long list of 70 handpicked Minecraft texture packs that you will surely download and use. Every items on the list has a precise description on what you will see in case you install them.
