n the spirit of the new year and all things gaming, I bring to you the Illustrated Guide to Minecraft. This is a .pdf instruction booklet meant to capture the spirit of the gaming manuals of old. The intent here is more artistic and for storytelling purposes, as opposed to a technical manual. As such, much information is either absent or presented in a relatively obscure manner.

The Illustrated Guide to Minecraft was made as a free download for fans and newcomers of Minecraft alike. My hope is to add some story elements to the game through this outside medium. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. Please do not post elsewhere without credit.
