I would buy this book again, very easy to use
I am glad I bought this book, it is super easy to use. Great for my grandson who is addicted to Minecraft. He is learning to code and this book is very easy to follow. It has pics and examples in each step and lesson. I Consider this to be a really good buy.

Code Error in Lesson 4
This is a fun book for luring kids who are Minecraft lovers into learning basic website development, but it definitely is not Minecraft coding. That’s not a problem for me, as I had looked at the book and was aware before purchasing. But there is an error in the JavaScript code in lesson four, page 25. I haven’t gone further, so I don’t yet know if this is an isolated issue.

Maybe a video would have been better as most do not like books these days
Didn’t hold his interest

Deliberately misleading title
From the title, one might think that this book had something to do with, well, coding in MineCraft. Instead, it teaches very simple web programming, and suggests that one draw pictures that resemble MineCraft stuff for use in one’s little web programs. The book could just as easily be titled “Coding for Particle Physicists” and encourage the reader to draw little circles instead.Perhaps the author’s attorney suggested that the book include *something* to do inside MineCraft itself, so the last “Mission” explains how to add sunglasses to a pig. By programming? Nope, by accessing the texture bitmaps in MineCraft and drawing a few dark pixels onto the pig texture. It also suggests drawing flowers in a grass texture, but that’s it for the titular “adventures” that actually have anything to do with MineCraft.

There is some programming in the book, but it is not related to Minecraft. The author added “Minecraft” in the book’s title, probably in a hope to sell more. Very disappointed. Returned right away.
