Originally created by Markus “Notch” Persson using the Java programming language, the game allows players to explore, gather resources, craft items, and build structures in a procedurally generated three-dimensional world. Players can choose survival mode, where they must acquire resources to survive, or creative mode, where they have unlimited resources and the ability to fly. Minecraft has become the best-selling video game of all time, with over 300 million copies sold and nearly 170 million monthly active players as of 2024. Books are items in the game used for enchanting and crafting, and bookshelves can enhance enchanting tables. There is also a series of official Minecraft novels that expand the game's universe and story, including titles like *Minecraft: The Island*, *Minecraft: The Crash*, and *Minecraft: The Lost Journals*. These novels explore the game's world in various ways and are popular among players.
