Acknowledgments

Jennifer¡ªmy wife, my partner. To say her expertise, excitement, love, and support is nothing short of amazing would be an understatement.

Yes, their names appear on the cover, but it bears repeating: This book

wouldn¡¯t be what it is without John and Cori. Cori¡¯s kindness, wit, wisdom, and

encouragement in game and out have made this journey enjoyable. I¡¯m honored to call her a friend.

Robyn, Cliff, and Scout¡ªfor their guidance throughout. And just as important

as the words are the look and presentation: Thanks to the design and production crew.

¡ªJames H. Clark

Thanks to Xander (Lex/wrednax), who has been a silent partner but deserves

full billing, not just for redstone expertise and contributions, but for putting

up with the insanity that descends when a book is being born. A mom truly

couldn¡¯t be luckier than I am.

John and James, with their unique voices and experiences, make this book all

the better. Thanks to Cliff, Robyn, and all the team for pulling all the strings

together.

James, with the insight and wisdom that comes from close friendship, knows

when to listen, cheer, joke, or simply set me back on my path¡ªthere were many

times I would have faltered without his support.

Rawcritics is my amazing Minecraft community, filled with fantastic friends

who have contributed in innumerable ways, from edits and project help to

being on the receiving end of my crazy more than once. You guys are amazing

and always there for me, and I can¡¯t thank you enough.

Finally, to my mom, my family, my friends¡ªthere¡¯s no way I could do this

without each and every one of you; thank you.
