Hello

Welcome to Minecraft: Guide to Creative!

Minecraft is many things. It’s a place to go on exciting adventures; it’s a place to invent amazing things; it’s a place to hang out with your friends. And it’s also a place to build. We even made a mode that’s just for letting your imagination go wild!

But everyone needs a little help with getting creative now and then, whether to learn new techniques or find inspiration. So we’ve put together this handbook of advice, suggestions, top tips and creative tricks.

These pages are filled with expert knowledge, so whether you’re a beginner looking to get started or an experienced player seeking new challenges, there’s something in here to help you become the builder you want to be.

This handbook is split into three sections. The first section will introduce you to Creative mode and guide you through the key elements of building creatively. Next, we’ll look at various building techniques and how to combine blocks to create unique features. Lastly, we will look at how to apply your new skills with step-by-step build instructions.
