Minecraft (Step into Reading series)/PlotSummary

Survival Mode!
Emmy and Birch, along with Birch’s tame wolf, Byte, are in the Overworld. As Birch and Byte play around in some sunflowers nearby, Emmy plans to climb to the top of a nearby mountain dubbed "Mount Farview", with Birch concurring. The two then punch out some logs from a nearby tree to craft into planks, which in turn are used to craft a crafting table. After Emmy crafts some wooden tools, everyone starts heading toward Mount Farview. They notice a spider nearby, but it doesn’t attack as the sun is still out. Not long after, Emmy, Birch, and Byte arrive at the base of the mountain, and decide to gather some more supplies. Emmy uses her axe to knock apples off a nearby oak tree, while Birch uses his wooden pickaxe to gather cobblestone. The pickaxe soon breaks, but Emmy then crafts Birch a stone pickaxe. As everyone begins to climb Mount Fairview, the sun begins to set, so they decide to build a shelter. Birch mines out cobblestone while Emmy uses it build a house. Just then, a skeleton fires arrows at them, but is killed with ease. More hostile mobs soon appear, like zombies and creepers, but all are killed by daybreak. Emmy, Birch, and Byte then finish climbing up Mount Farview, overlooking numerous biomes in the distance as the narrator mentions that their adventure was just getting started.

Mobs in the Overworld!
As Birch plays fetch with his tame wolf, Byte, near a village, Emmy plans on getting a pet of her own, so they decide to go exploring around the Overworld. They first come across mobs such as cows and chickens, but Birch remarks that they belong to the villagers as they are in an enclosed space. Emmy agrees, and so the two continue exploring. Coming to a taiga biome, they find some rabbits and a fox. Emmy acknowledges that the rabbits are cute, but is worried about taking one from a family. Byte ends up scaring away the fox. Birch then spots a bees' nest and starts to knock it off of the tree with his pickaxe. Emmy warns him to stop, but by then, it was too late. A group of angry bees then chase everyone out of the woods and into a nearby cave, where they come across spiders, silverfish, bats, and numerous hostile mobs such as zombies and slimes. Exiting the cave, the three (Emmy, Birch, and their tame wolf, Byte) then come across a panda in a jungle, who sneezes at them, leaving behind a slimeball.

They soon head into the ocean, where they find mobs such as dolphins and drowned, and then into the ice and snow, finding a stray and some polar bears. Not long after, Emmy, Birch, and Byte come across a swamp, where they notice a black cat, but a witch begins throwing potions at the three from nearby, leaving them no choice but to run off. As they leave the swamp, a creeper blows up right by them, making a crater in the ground. Emmy begins to worry that she might not be able to find an animal to be her pet, but a horse just happens to be nearby. Birch crafts a lead using string from a spider and the slimeball from the panda, while Emmy walks slowly over to the horse. Emmy then takes the lead from Birch while he feeds the horse an apple. As Emmy puts a saddle on the horse and climbs on it, she decides to call the horse "Ink". Emmy and Ink then gallop across the Overworld as Birch and Byte run alongside them.

Escape from the Nether!
Emmy, Birch, and their wolf, Byte, are in the Overworld. Emmy is wearing a golden helmet and some golden boots, while Birch has an iron sword. The two decide to play fetch with Byte by throwing a stick into a nearby forest. Although Byte chases after it, Emmy and Birch soon realize that Byte has disappeared and start calling its name as they head toward the forest. Beneath some trees, the two soon find a nether portal. Feeling that Byte may have gone through it, Emmy and Birch decide to go through it as well, spawning in a warped forest in the Nether. Climbing a vine to get a better view of their surroundings, the two also notice a crimson forest, a huge swath of netherrack, and "an ocean of lava". Emmy then puts some warped fungus into her inventory as she and Birch head over to the crimson forest. Suddenly, the two are surrounded by piglins. They attack Birch but avoid Emmy as she is wearing a gold helmet and a pair of gold boots. Emmy then gives Birch her gold helmet so she no longer can be attacked by piglins.

The two then follow the piglins over to a bastion remnant, where the two soon find "a treasure room filled with gold". Opening a chest in the room ends up provoking the piglins, however, so Emmy and Birch escape by making a hole in the wall. The escape quickly becomes tricky, however, due to them ending up in a soul sand valley. As skeletons fire at them, the two find a nether portal across a river of lava. Birch feels as if they are trapped, but Emmy soon notices some striders. They saddle them and climb on top, but the striders don’t move. Emmy then attempts to use a carrot on a stick, but it doesn’t work. As the mobs close in on them, Birch suggests to use the warped fungus to craft a warped fungus on a stick. Emmy does so, and just as she has the fungus in front of the strider’s face, they begin to run across the lava. Emmy and Birch quickly head toward the nether portal, where they notice Byte on the other side, and soon go through it. Now safe in the Overworld, the two decide to play fetch with Byte once again.

The Sky’s the Limit!
Emmy and Birch are seen jumping on their beds in their house, as their wolf, Byte, happily watches them. Birch feels like that they could jump higher, and Emmy says that she has an idea. She gathers sixteen slime blocks and then places them outside on the ground. The two them jump on the slime blocks, realizing that they can bounce really high. Birch, however, feels like he wants to fly, so Emmy heads back in the house and takes out a pair of elytra from a chest. Birch happily puts them on as Emmy says that he’ll be able to fly with them. Birch is so excited that he leaps off the cliff before Emmy could warn him that the elytra were broken, and Birch ends up falling to the slime blocks below. Emmy then realizes that they would need to kill a phantom in order to repair the elytra, so Birch destroys the beds in their house before the two go on an adventure, killing numerous mobs. On the third night, the two have a picnic with Byte under the moon and stars, but a phantom soon swoops down at them. It is soon killed, however, and drops a phantom membrane, which Emmy uses to repair the elytra. Birch then happily flies around with it, noticing several things such as a mountain and a desert pyramid. He then heads back to Emmy to inform her of everything he saw, and the two decide to go on another adventure.
