Minecraft for Makers: Minecraft in the Real World with LEGO, 3D Printing, Arduino, and More!

Book Description

Minecraft has sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide (about 25 million of those units for the PC and Mac). According to Mojang, since the beginning of 2016 Minecraft continues to average 53,000 copies sold per day. Microsoft bought Minecraft (and Mojang) in 2014 for $2.5 billion. In 2016, Microsoft released a version of Minecraft specifically for educators called MinecraftEdu that is used by thousands of teachers around the world.

Minecraft for Makers explores the intersection of this creative and beloved electronic game with the real world. It gives readers the opportunity to take familiar objects from the game – such as blocks, jack o’lanterns, and mobs – and make real-world versions of them. Begin with simple crafting projects using wood, paint, and LEGOs. Then move up to projects that involve basic electronics with LEDs. And, finally, advance to Arduino microcontroller projects that teach programming skills and basic robotics. The skills build progressively on one another, from chapter to chapter, and the emphasis is on fun all the way!

Chapters include:

• Basic Projects (Item Frame with Diamond Sword, LEGO Minecraft Block, Minecraft Chess Pieces)
• LED Projects (Glowing Minecraft Block, Glowstone Chandelier, Minecraft Chess Board)
• Arduino Projects (Minecraft Jack O’Lantern, Night and Day Clock, Robot Creeper)

《我的世界》在全球已售出1亿多册(其中约2500万册是PC和Mac电脑)。据Mojang称，自2016年初以来，《我的世界》平均每天售出5.3万册。2014年，微软以25亿美元的价格收购了我的世界(和Mojang)。2016年，微软发布了专门面向教育工作者的《我的世界》版本，名为MinecraftEdu，全球数千名教师使用该版本。

Maker的《我的世界》探索了这款创意十足、深受喜爱的电子游戏与现实世界的交集。它让读者有机会从游戏中提取熟悉的物体，如积木、杰克灯笼和暴徒，并制作它们的真实版本。从使用木材、油漆和乐高积木的简单工艺项目开始。然后转到涉及带LED的基础电子产品的项目。最后，进入教授编程技能和基本机器人技术的Arduino微控制器项目。从一章到另一章，这些技能逐渐建立在彼此的基础上，而且一直强调乐趣！

Chapters include:

• 基本项目(带钻石剑的物品框，乐高我的世界积木，我的世界棋子)
• 主导项目(发光的《我的世界》积木、辉石吊灯、《我的世界》棋盘)
• Arduino项目(《我的世界》杰克·O&8217；《灯笼》、《昼夜钟》、《机器人爬行者》)
