Minecraft Annual 2027

Happy ghasts and copper golems get their own mob guides in this year's official round-up of Minecraft, made by Mojang, the studio behind the game. Alongside them come tips for surviving the eerie pale garden, advice on how to loot a bastion remnant, and step-by-step builds to recreate in your own world.

Between the guides sit plenty of activities to tackle away from the console, so the annual earns its keep on a long car ride as much as on the sofa. It is a cheerful, well-stocked companion for any young player who knows their creepers from their endermen and wants to catch up on everything the past year has added, and it makes a fine present for the Minecraft devotee in the family.
