Minecraft: Official Magazine was a series of Minecraft magazines published by Egmont in cooperation with Mojang Studios. Throughout the magazine's run, 14 issues were published starting in July 2017 [1] and ending in 2019.
Each magazine was packed in a cardboard box containing the magazine itself with two sheets of stickers. The magazine had 60 pages full of news, build inspirations and guides, each issue contained one comic, ideas for Minecraft challenges and quiz at the end.
Minecraft: Official Magazine introduces new characters that are a very important part of the series, they appear in all issues and discuss various parts of the game. Scout mainly teaches combat, Bear is a specialist in survival strategies, Sparks presents different build projects and Monty deals with other game mechanics like farming or enchanting. The characters were created by Trudi Castle, as were the comics in the magazine featuring them[2].
