Minecraft: The Island is an official Minecraft novel by Max Brooks, author of World War Z.An unnamed castaway from a world much like ours arrives in the world of Minecraft one day with little memory of their world and who they are, and no idea how to survive the first night.With monsters lurking, the protagonist must not only survive, but thrive, using their courage, creativity, and bravery to try and find what the world is and why they were put there.A sequel, Minecraft: The Mountain, was released in 2021, featuring the island castaway exploring a cold mountain and meeting another person like them, Summer. The third and final book, Minecraft: The Village, is set for release in October 2023 and details Guy and Summer protecting a village in hopes of finding a way home.

How Do I Shot Web?: A major part of the early chapters is the protagonist learning how Minecraft works and what they can and can't do, especially what foods they can and can't eat.

Narrative Profanity Filter: Curses are sidestepped in the narrative, usually by saying they said a bad word but not saying which one.

Green Aesop: Early on, the protagonist accidentally makes apple trees go extinct and doesn't realize it until later. This galvanizes them into leaving half of the island exactly as-is while they'd freely mine the other half.

"Reading Is Cool" Aesop: The protagonist discovers books and the knowledge they give, noting that people either didn't read them, edited them, or burned them because they disagreed with their words, but every book can expand your horizons.
