The sequel to Block City, Block Wonders showcases the most awe-inspiring buildings and structures ever created by Minecraft's huge community.

Learn how to plan and build spectacular structures without ever having to don a hardhat!

Block Wonders explores the ultimate structures-including ancient and modern wonders of the world and those from gamers' imaginations-painstakingly put together block by block. From a historically accurate Giza Plateau to a perfect space shuttle replica, enormous projects are showcased in full color. Architectural gems such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and the Taj Mahal are featured along gamer favorites like giant floating dragons and cartoon-style giant pixel art works.
