Minecraft: The Island will tell the story of a new hero stranded in the world of Minecraft, who must survive the harsh, unfamiliar environment and unravel the secrets of the island. Brooks' interest in the sandbox video game Minecraft began around 2012 when a friend introduced him to the game. In 2015, he was asked by Mojang to write a novel centered around the game. By the time his contract with Mojang had been completed, Brooks had finished a manuscript. [1] Body Horror: Early on the protagonist is horrified at their square body, especially the fingerless hands. 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.

Max Brooks: Guy has to think and then talk through everything, and Summer is a do-er. She rushes in where angels fear to tread. I think a lot of that comes from the biome she spawned in. Guy had this island, this safe space where he had time to think and talk it out, whereas Summer spawned in the taiga, this frozen wasteland. This was the early version of the taiga, when there was almost no food, and she was freezing all the time, living on zombie flesh, and mobs came at night from every direction, so she had to fight for her life. I think it helped shape her, and so when confronted by a problem, Summer is more likely to jump in and then deal with the consequences, as opposed to Guy, who’d take a couple of days, maybe a week, to look at all the angles.

Alex: As a book writer, you must be used to working alone. Did you draw on your own experience for The Mountain ? Max Brooks: That was the whole point of this book. Book one was: you’ve got to learn how to live with yourself. Book two is: you’ve got to learn to live with someone else. That makes this book timely. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of kids are basically trapped on the islands of their homes, and they’re going to have to leave those islands pretty soon and reintegrate, and that’s going to take a lot of social skills that have maybe atrophied. You have these two characters who are king and queen of their kingdoms and then they come together, so it's about the compromise of their friendship. How do you tell someone what you’re thinking without upsetting them? And how do you listen to them? Friendship is very complicated, when you think about it. Broken Aesop: The protagonist learning survival skills and lamenting their life spent on the computer becomes broken since Minecraft itself is a computer game.
