The fourth book of the series is filled with more wonderful adventures and discoveries. Steve would be finally able to discover how he got in here and maybe even why. He would make a wonderful friend – the Witch Gray, and with her help would learn things about Mineceraft only people born and living in it know about.
What is more, Steve’s new adventure would take us back to the village where he first woke up in Minecraft and then we would see him get ready to visit the Nether. His travels are more amazing than ever and he… he changes in front of our eyes. Steve is no longer the scared little boy we met a few books back. Now, he knows what he wants and is ready to fight for it.

Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!
Why You Should Read This Book
This book will help you realize that life is not always what we think it is. Sometimes even the smallest thing can turn our world upside down.
That is why, Minecraft, although, just a game can turn out to be a very educational experience that would help us in life.
Steve the Miner could be anyone of us, so think about what your reaction would be in his situation.
The third book of the series is actually more about the way Steve starts to grow and see things for what they are. We will see very little of the scared little boy from the first two books. In here, Steve is what we all wish to be – a strong, mature and brave little person.
Chapter 1
Me and my story
Hi again!
Do you remember me? I am Steve, the little, lonely boy, who found himself away from home. I have been living in Mineomania (the Minecrfaft world I created) for a while now and this here is my diary.
If this is the first time you hear about me, here is a short description of what goes on in my life so far:
So, as I said, my name is Steve and I was born in a small town, situated at the foot of a picturesque mountain. One morning, I woke up and found myself inside Minecraft, something that I thought was impossible to happen. I couldn’t find my mother, my friends or my teachers, so, afraid and alone, I started to learn how to survive in here.
My journey away from home has been hard and lonely, but I also found a few friends – a Wolf became my friend and I managed to construct a house and a farm for myself.
This was my home for a while, but I had to abandon it too, as a too many monsters found it. As you can see, the life of a boy in Minecraft is not easy. I am destined to live alone and the few friends I find now and then never stay for long.
By the way, this is my diary and I write it so that I can express my feelings – it is hard not to have someone to talk to…
Just another day of my life in Mineomania…
I stopped long ago to try and keep track of the days I have been in here. Now, for me everything is mixed into a bit nothing and I have no idea how long has it been since I woke up in here.
So, I had to abandon my beautiful house and the farm I build with great difficulty. The reason why, I had to do that was simple – for almost a week, every night more than twenty monsters came to my door and tried to get in. I knew that for a while the wall and the lava would keep them out, but I was also afraid.
Imagine trying to sleep while monsters yell, hiss, cry and so on, just outside your door. The fear that they might get in was so great that at the end, I simply took what I can carry, let the animals free and run…
That was how, once again, I was alone on the road…
Fortunately, the very first day, I found another abandoned Witch's hut and hid inside. The place was clean and well protected, build in the middle of a swamp and with a clear view in all four directions.
As you all know, Minecraft can be a very dangerous place, especially to boys like me, who had no way to protect themselves, but with their laser eyes (Thank God I had them). I had learned a lot of things since I first came here, but, unfortunately, there are a lot more things for me to learn about.
For example, I still had to learn about all the monsters that inhabit this world and especially about the most dangerous ones. Then there was the matter about how to do things here. In the real world, it is easy to do things, but in here, there were different laws and I needed to learn them. Also, I very much needed to find a friend, or someone who can tell me more about this world.
And what is
more, I needed to find a way to get out of here. I longed for my home, family, friends… I wanted to get back, but as I said, I had no idea how to do that.
Chapter 2
A New Friend
So, two days after I found the Witch’s hut I also met the Witch herself. As everyone who had ever played Minecraft knows, the Witch is not supposed to be the Player’s enemy. I, however, have the ultimate proof that she actually can be your friend.
“Hi,” she said when we first met, and I was ready to run away, but something in her behavior made me stop. I was standing in her own hut and I was scared, given Witches reputation.
“Are you okay?” I asked her, worried.
“No,” she answered. “I am just coming from the Nether and there I was attacked by a Blaze.”
“Oh…” I exclaimed. I had heard many stories about those horrible creatures, but fortunately, I had never seen one. “Are you hurt?”
“Yes, the Blaze managed to surprise me and burn me a little, but it is nothing too serious.”
“I can help you,” I offered. “By the way, my name is Steve.”
“Nice to meet you,” she said smiling. “I am Gray.”
“Really? Who name you like that?”
“I don’t remember…” Gray murmured, visibly confused. “But, I have always been called by that name, although I don’t remember who gave it to me.”
“It doesn’t matter,” I calmed her. “Come closer, you must have some healing potion that will help you get better.”
After that, we became friends. I helped her to apply the potion and Gray allowed me to spend the night in her hut. I liked her and hoped that she will be here when I woke up in the morning.
The next day, Gray was still there and we shared what little breakfast I had. She was much more used to live alone than me and I soon found out that Gray knew things about this world, I had no idea about.
For example, she told me that she had seen the Herobrine. According to her, that mythical creature really existed and was quite friendly. Fortunately, I had already met him, and it was easy for me to believe her words.
Gray showed me a lot of amazing things, such as how to fly with a broom and how to make potions from herbs and a few other ingredients.
“I can help you find your village,” she offered, when I finally shared with her my greatest concern. I was longing for company and the small mountain village, where I first woke up, has been in my thoughts quite often lately.
“Is that possible?”
“Yes, I know where most of the villages are.” She assured me. “But, first I want to show you the world around us.”
Therefore, we climbed on her big broom, after she cast the spell over it and showed me how to stay upright.
Ahhhhhh… Ohhhhhhh…
We shouted, excited and happy to be up in the sky. The world below us looked so exciting that I almost cried.
Rivers, seas, mountains, pools of lava, woods and large planes can be seen passing under us… Gray explained to me all about how the world was generated and pointed the best places to live. I was stunned, but also surprised to find out that there is more in this world than my small house and even smaller farm.
Chapter 3
My New Adventure
The day passed and the next one started… We flew about, and descended to the ground only for food and rest. Gray was a very helpful companion, as she knew everything about this world and was willing to teach me.
By the end of the second day, we were flying over a big forest that ended with a high and snowy mountain. At first I thought that it was the place where I first woke up, but Gray told me that that mountain was in the opposite direction.
This one was a smaller mountain, also covered by snow and inhabited by many interesting monsters (interesting because I was watching them from abouve). Shortly after she told me all this, I can see for myself the multiple monsters wandering about. There were all kinds of monsters – Creepers, Spiders, Endermen and Archers, walking over the slopes of the mountain. We decided not to stop there and continue flying towards a safer destination…
Something new…
The next day, we continued flay till I saw something I had never seen before – the house of another Player. It was nothing like the small box, I used to call home. This one had a much more sophisticated architecture and was beautifully built.
“Do you want to see what it looks from the inside?” Gray asked me and smiled at my expression. “What? All we have to do is to wait for the Player to go out.”
“Okay, then let’s go!” I agreed and Gray directed the broom towards the house.
We waited hidden behind some trees to be sure no one was going to catch us and then, then we walked into the most beautiful house I have ever seen…
I looked everywhere, trying to learn new techniques and searching for useful things I can take with me. Fortunately, the Player didn’t return quickly and we were able to spend almost half a day inside his house.
I had been contemplating the possibility to stay and speak to him, but Gray was firm on the point that Players don’t like each other. According to her, the moment he sees me, he would try to harm and even kill me.
The visiting of the house had been a real adventure for me. I never even imagined it possible to see how other Players live in Minecraft. The experience was very educational and I was glad to finally see something new and care about something else, but my safety and what to eat.
What I learned during those days was that friendships are the most important things in life. Gray, the Witch, was so different from me and yet we managed to find many things that we both liked. We were slowly becoming really good friends, who can count on each other and share everything.
Chapter 4
Back Home
The next days, many interesting things happened to us, but what really got my attention was the legendary battle between a Spider and an Endermen. We saw them standing on a peninsula and staring at each other.
“They are trying to will the other to go away,” Gray explained to me. “The monsters are not good friends and when they met they want to fight each other.”
The Spider and the Endermen were doing their thing, but I can see how the tension was building. The Spider was walking about and looking ready to attack, while the Endermen was transporting blocks and placing them as a way to protect himself.
I really wanted to see what would happen and Gray let me land on the nearby hill and watch them. We settled down comfortably and I prepared for a real life show. It was nothing like watching TV, oh, it was even better.
The scary Spider walked in a circle and watched carefully his high opponent. The Endermen remained calm and slowly turned around to watch what the other monster was doing. He obviously knew that he had the upper hand and did nothing at first.
After three hours, just when we were getting ready to fall asleep, the Spider attacked. The creature aimed for the legs of the Endermen and that was when the tall mob started to act. The Endermen took another block and threw it at the Spider. The first time he missed, but the Endermen continued to throw blocks and finally one of them hit the Spider right in the head and stopped its advance.
“Will he kill the Spider?” I had to ask Gray.
“I don’t know,” she answered softly, not wanting to disturb the scene. “I think that the Endermen will win, but who knows?”
Surprisingly, the Spider let out a high pitched sound and that was when more Spiders started to appear on the mountain’s slopes. Help was coming. The Spiders surrounded the Endermen and he got disoriented. It became quickly obvious that he was going to fall, as the Spiders were coming from all directions.
And then… then something unexpected happened – the Endermen started to teleport behind each Spider with a block in his hands. That way, he was able to kill most of them and scare away the rest.
Once again
the mind won over the muscles.
Returning back home…
“You promised me to take me to the village,” I reminded my friend, Gray, the next morning. “I liked it when I lived in the village. I also loved my little home, but it wasn’t safe there.”
“Why don’t you go back home, then?” She asked me.
“Because I have no idea how to get there…” I said with sadness in my voice.
“But, maybe I would be able to find the place for you,” she insisted. “If you really want to return there and live with the villagers, I can help you.”
“Yes, but what if I find something horrible?” I voiced my deepest fear.
“I will come with you,” Gray offered. “I know all about this world and can help you.”
I accepted her help and we spent the night planning about our journey to the mountain village. I already was feeling impatient and ready to go back to the only place a felt safe.
We spent the night talking and trying to make sense of everything that had happened to both of us. In the morning, we climbed back on Gray’s magical broom and flew towards the village, I wanted to call home.
We arrived late at night and I immediately noticed that everything was covered by fresh snow. The houses looked all empty and that worried me. I was so used to the chatty villagers walking around and talking to each other.
I easily found the house I used to call home and with Gray’s help managed to get inside it. The roof had fallen down, but thanks to the well build walls there were still places where the rain hadn’t ruined everything. I found a few items I recognized, but there still weren’t any signs of life here.
My eyes were filled with tears and I had a hard time keeping them in, but Gray was of great support to me and I was able to go around without losing it completely. After searching the house, we did the same with the rest of the houses of the village, finding multiple precious things, but nothing that pointed to what really happened.
