Minecraft Combat Handbook

The Minecraft Combat Handbook is part of the official series of guides for the popular sandbox game, Minecraft. Originally developed by Mojang Studios in Sweden, the game and its associated brand assets became global cultural icons. The Dutch edition of this specific handbook was published by JP Books (Junior Press), a publisher specializing in translated media content for the Netherlands and Belgium markets.

Manufacturing for these types of hardcover books traditionally occurs in multiple locations worldwide to satisfy regional demand, with common printing hubs located in China or Europe. The brand's ultimate ownership lies with Microsoft Corporation, which acquired Mojang Studios in 2014 for $2.5 billion. Microsoft, headquartered in the United States, continues to manage the brand globally, overseeing everything from software development to licensed merchandise like these handbooks.
