About this item
Minecraft is an exploratory sandbox game that has become tremendously popular. Players are able to craft tools, build homes, mine for gold and other resources, and do much more. Players can also build and run their own farms. Thanks to frequent updates, Minecraft farms are becoming more and more like real ones. Players can grow crops, build barns, and raise livestock. These activities will teach readers about real-world STEM concepts. Readers are also encouraged to learn about computer programming as a way to create their own mods for the game. Colorful photographs and fun illustrations show readers how to create their own functioning farms in Minecraft.
