What's the earliest-used tool you can think of? An ax? What about a shovel? Someone had to invent those first tools back in the dawn of human civilization. Gamers use them in the world of Minecraft, too. Many tools helped early people, and help people today, make the principles of physics and engineering work for them. Through learning how to create simple to complex tools in Minecraft, students will get a look at the history of tools while also gaining an essential understanding about the history of human inventiveness.

One of the most exciting aspects of creating worlds in the popular game of Minecraft is constructing railroads to carry your character around the towns you build. Rails and carts can also be used to make transportation systems in mines, but also roller-coasters. This volume shows readers how railroads constructed in Minecraft can display engineering concepts used in the real world. Using the redstone blocks in Minecraft gives readers a basic understanding of electronic circuits. Readers are also encouraged to explore computer programing and creating mods in Minecraft. The colorful illustrations and photographs help allow readers to make important connections between Minecraft and engineering.
