„ |
— Backcover description |
A character known only as the Naturalist explains how each mob works in detail according to his perspective in the Minecraft world. Most of the writing focuses on the in-game mechanics of each mob, but it occasionally references things from outside the game, such as the the killer bunny being "immortalized in a popular comedic play", TNT in the anatomy of a creeper, the superstition of the chicken being a spy, and the origins of endermites being from between dimensions. There are also dissections of some of the mobs showing organs, bones, gas, magma, gears, and/or redstone depending on the mob.

Trivia[]
- The sketch showing the anatomy of the creeper was likely based on official Minecraft merchandise created by JINX.[2]
- In Minecraft Dungeons, there is an anatomical model showing the same anatomy.
- The spy-chicken superstition mentioned by the Naturalist originated from a Minecraft Alpha tutorial video made by Paul Soares Jr.[3]
- In the beginning of the video, Paul was in a cave along with a chicken that seemed to watch him. Though he never mentioned it being a spy in the video itself, he jokingly stated in several comments on the video that the chicken was a spy sent by Sarumon[note 2] and that it had to be executed.
