We were at Barnes and Noble tonight and saw this book:http://www.amazon.com/Minecraft-Essential-Handbook-Official-Mojang/dp/0545669936/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393039784&sr=8-1&keywords=minecraft+essential+handbook
It is exactly what you need to get started. I bought it for me just so I could stop asking the kids how to make everything. :)
This is the one my son loves the best!

I'm taking the personal experiences of people that I know that have actually been cured over someones writings. Even if they are dangerous levels, it's certainly better than the alternative.
You know millions of people? I believe that was your claim earlier in this thread, that millions of people have been cured of cancer by vitamin B17 and essential oils.

I play too. It is fun and can be a major time suck!
I like having the books because my son's typing skills are fairly non-existent/just learning, making Google searching difficult, plus it encourages him to read. :) He devoured the Mojang Essential Minecraft book.
I usually just use Google when I'm playing, but I have enjoyed reading through the books too.

My stbxh plays, so my son and I picked up some stuff from him, but honestly i learned the most from hitting up Google. I did buy us the Minecraft for Dummies book, The Ultimate Player's Guide to Minecraft, and Mojan's Essential Minecraft book. Of the three, my 8 y/o likes the Mojang book the best. The Minecraft for Dummies book did come with a link to a printable PDF that listed everything that can be crafted in Minecraft. That's been a huge help to both of us.
There's a server called Skrafty that is kid friendly. We play there a lot and enjoy it.

I'm still disappointed that "got hard" turned out to to be a typo. I'd thought it was so clever!
I did too! I had never looked at his name that way before. So fitting, IMO.

Wasn't Cat the one who mentioned Jim-Bob's impressive member? What is up with the obsession with these conservative guy members? ;)

Oh wow. I don't think the Obedience Song would go over really well here at home. I mean I do fantasize about having an obedient kid who does whatever I say with a smile, but IRL I do prefer for him to be his own person and I think his independence will be helpful as an adult in the long run.

It's an HP...we spent a bit more than a basic laptop....it has 8GB of RAM (the normal $200-300 laptops usually only have 2-4GB of RAM). RAM is the processing power (this is helps it run Minecraft without lag). We spent more in hopes that the laptop will last a bit longer, in terms of keeping up with technology, so we won't have to buy him another for 4-5 years, god willing. I just know that RAM requirements for technology increase over the years.
5 years ago, 2GB of RAM was a "normal" computer, and 4GB of RAM was a "upgrade". (10 years ago, 512MB was considered good on a computer...takes two 512MB to make 1GB). Now 2GB of RAM is a cheapy, basic computer, and 4GB is the norm......so 5 years from now....8GB will probably be the norm :).
I sound like I know more than I do about computers, lol....3 years of working with Apple will do that........doesn't help much for Minecraft mods and Windows 8, haha!
Thanks! I am looking at the ones with 8 GB and, yeah, they're a bit pricey. ;) My stbXh told me I needed at least 4GB to run Minecraft. I have 8 on my desktop. I don't know what is on the older desktop we're running Minecraft on also. That thing is just slow in general.

Which laptop did you get that can support Minecraft?
No help, but I am curious. :)

My son is 8 and I have, within the past few months, been letting up on all the electronic restrictions. He really likes Minecraft. Some days he'll get to play for a couple of hours or more, some days none at all, some days just for a hour. It just depends. I play too, so we Skype together while we play. We probably only do that once a week or so though.
He still plays outside, he still plays with his toys, he reads books on his own time, he gets his school work and chores done, so I don't have a problem with it. I spend a decent amount of time on the computer myself.

Wow. Someone is really judgmental. :glare:
Pot Kettle Black, glass houses and that sort of thing.

Jim-Bob in the next issue of Playgirl?

I recently bought a used Champion juicer. I love it! It juices everything I put in there, including greens.
-
Can you see it via this link? I got this one in my email after (of course) making a purchase there the other day. It's not much off, but it's something.

My favorite words with regard to this subject, courtesy of Madonna.
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl -
Can anyone tell me which classes they'd recommend on that Skrafty site? My son is interested in science and math. How do I find out if they are at his level?
I think the classes are meant to cover a wide range of ages and be pretty adaptable. We're currently taking the Mystery of History class and the periodic table class. My son is 8. I work with him on these classes, read aloud from the MoH book, go over geography, etc etc. I think the older kids do more work on their own. It's pretty obvious from the Minecraft building projects which kids are older and which are younger. :)
-
We also use the Skrafty server. Both my son and I play on it. I haven't noticed any bad language and the admins and their kids are on pretty often.
-
I have to uh, er...wash my hair.
Or do pretty much anything but watch a couple of egos in need of stylists and a reality check "debate".
I'll wait for the YouTube parodies. It won't be long.
I'd love to see an Epic Rap Battle of History of it. I even considered emailing Nice Peter and asking.
-
I am too. It's been asked a couple of times in this thread, but there has been no answer from those who use this to preface their writings.

I've had plenty of used couches over the years. I rarely buy any furniture new. Our current mattresses were bought new, but I've had used over the years too.

AMDG
abbreviation for1. (Roman Catholic Church) ad majorem Dei gloriam (the Jesuit motto)[Latin: to the greater glory of God]Is this used in speech as well? I see it used here to preface any postings. I would assume it is also said in speech to preface any talking? Otherwise, what is the point of using it in one conversational medium and not the other?

Oh yes, I love the projects that require making more of a mess before things actually get organized and set right. I usually get part way through those and then don't feel like doing anymore, but have to otherwise I have a large mess.
