The companion for planning your next Minecraft Dungeons build. SEARCH EVERYTHING AT ONCE — one box searches 224 items, 41 levels, 127 enchantments, 45 artifacts, every rune and every build. Search a weapon and you also get its unique variants, the levels it drops in, and the builds that use it. YOUR HERO — record what each copy of your gear actually rolled, mark a piece gilded and name the enchantment and tier it came with, and keep your whole loadout in one place. BUILD ANALYSIS — your equipped loadout is scored for single target, hordes, survivability, mobility, support and Apocalypse Plus scaling, with the strengths, weaknesses and specific suggestions behind every number, plus the curated builds it comes closest to. CURATED BUILDS — 16 researched loadouts across every archetype: tank, melee/ranged DPS, healer, soul, summoner and hybrids, with party-size guidance from solo to four-player. Every build ranks exactly which enchantments matter most, with substitutes when you are missing a piece. COMMUNITY BUILDS — publish your own loadouts and browse what other players are running. FARM ROUTES — every item and artifact lists the missions that drop it, including secret missions and DLC. RUNE HUNT — a step-by-step locator for all nine hidden runes and the secret level they unlock, with a progress checklist. MECHANICS PRIMER — power, enchantment points, gilding, souls and difficulty scaling, sourced and searchable. WORKS OFFLINE — the full compendium ships with the app. Optional cloud sync (email code sign-in, no password) keeps your vault identical across devices. No ads. No tracking. No account required.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MKT Playbook at 4.8 against MDGuide's 4.0. MKT Playbook also leads on ratings volume (124 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 17.0). MDGuide's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
