Roll the dice to create your very own Minecraft story in this tabletop game—with dice, instructions, and an adventure book!

When a village is raided by illagers, its poor inhabitants seek the aid of a mighty hero to track down the invaders. They need someone brave, clever, and determined. They need you!

Make crucial decisions, craft powerful items, roll dice to battle mobs, and explore the Overworld on your epic journey to discover and destroy the mysterious Temple of the Charged Creeper. This book contains:

• A complete adventure book with a bestiary of wicked mobs and a collection of perilous adventure locations.
• Four dice to help—or hurt—you as you battle mysterious foes.
• A removable character sheet and rules reference to help you track your heroic progress (or to let you play with a friend as your narrator!).

So sharpen your sword, prepare your pickaxe, and grab your green dice. Your epic Minecraft adventure begins now!
Hold up, Hero!

This isn’t your normal kind of book, the sort that you read through straight from one end to the other. This is a gamebook, a special kind of book that can take you on a journey through the Overworld inside its covers.

Because it’s a gamebook, it has rules. You need to follow these to play through the book and see if you can get it to end.

In most books, when you reach the end of a page, you turn to the next one. In a gamebook, the book may tell you to turn to a particular page if you’ve done a particular thing. It can even give you choices to make, sending you to different pages depending on what you decide. It’s all part of the fun.
