Egmont Publishing is releasing a new Minecraft book called Blockopedia.

This hexagonal book is a ‘comprehensive reference tool for beginners and more experienced players alike’, written by former Edge editor Alex Wiltshire and is accurate up to the latest 1.8 game update.

Working closely with Mojang, we wanted to make sure this encyclopaedia was so much more than just an ordinary reference book, so it could truly reflect both the richness of the world and iconic visual identity of the game," said Sarah Bates, publishing director for licensed character books, Egmont Publishing.

"Blockopedia pushes the boundaries of what we expect a book to be. It’s totally unique and we’re extremely proud to be bringing such an innovative product to market."
