Bookshelf

A Bookshelf is a block that is used for decorative purposes. The player can also surround an Enchantment Table with Bookshelves to get better enchantments.

It can be crafted or naturally found in libraries in some Strongholds and Villages.

Crafting

 * 6 Wooden Planks + 3 Books => 1 Bookshelf

''Note: The type of wooden plank has no effect on crafting. All types of planks work and all bookshelves look the same.''

Trivia

 * 15 Bookshelves are required in order to receive the highest Enchantments.
 * Bookshelves were non-renewable before Update 0.9.0.
 * When destroyed, the Bookshelf returns only the Books, losing the Wooden Planks used to make it.
 * However, before Update 0.3.0, destroying one bookshelf would yield three new bookshelves instead of three books.
 * To get the block itself, the player must use a Silk Touch enchanted shears.
 * When used to enhance an Enchantment Table, letters appear to be drawn from the Bookshelves and into the Enchantment Table.
 * The texture of the top of the bookshelf block is the same as that of Oak Planks.
