Minecraft Books, Really? not just one

If you are interested in getting started in Minecraft, buy it and start chopping and digging. Get answers to your questions by asking your kids, and referring to YouTube and Minecraft wikis. If that's still not enough, here are a few recommended Minecraft books:

The Ultimate Player's Guide to Minecraft, by Stephen O'Brien. This thorough guide to surviving and thriving in the world of Minecraft was written by a guy who loves Minecraft and has explored it deeply. (The author is also the inventor of the Mypressi espresso machine.)

The Minecraft Guide for Parents, by Cori Dusmann. This is especially good for parents of younger kids who need help buying and installing Minecraft. It also has good tips on how to play Minecraft with your kids.
Minecraft: The Unlikely Tale of Markus "Notch" Persson and the Game that Changed Everything, by by Daniel Goldberg and Linus Larsson. A compelling short biography of the creator of Minecraft. It's intended audience is probably adults, but most 10-year-olds would have no problem reading it.

Enchanted Book Chest Shop

Note: This only works if the Chest Shop plugin is installed on the server of course.

If you wish to find out the enchantment code for any tool, weapon, armor, potion or book do /iteminfo while holding the item.

The syntax remains the same to sell and purchase any enchanted item, just add #enchantment ID at the end.

<Blank or Player Name or Your Name or Admin Shop>
<Quantity of the tool to Buy and Sell>
B <Buy Rate> : S <Sell Rate>
<Enchanted Book ID> # <Enchantment ID/Code>

Example:

RobinR
1
B 25000:S 15000
403#1a

Enchanted Tools Chest Shop Codes/IDs can be found here.

Online minecraft circle and ellipse generator. A web app for creating circles and ellipses in Minecraft.

Voxel Shape Generator

http://oranj.io/blog/VoxelSphereGenerator

Use this tool to make spheres for Minecraft and the like. Idea originally stolen from Neil Fraser, but more recently inspired by friendly competition with my friend Jesse, whose Circle Generator seems a little two dimensional.

Pixel Circle / Oval Generator

Playing Minecraft, I like making circular things. I used a chart while I was building, but wanted to be able to make variable size ovals which is something I couldn't find a decent chart of or generator capable of, so I created this!
