The '''box of infinite books''' is a joke [[Minecraft:block]] introduced in Java Edition 20w14∞ that provides a written book containing random text when used. It uses the texture of oak planks on all but one face, on which it has its own [[Minecraft:bookshelf]]-like texture randomized based on its location.

The box of infinite books is a joke Minecraft:block introduced in Minecraft:Java Edition 20w14∞ that provides a Minecraft:written book containing random text when used. It uses the texture of Minecraft:oak planks on all but one face, on which it has its own Minecraft:bookshelf-like texture randomized based on its location.

Natural generation

Boxes of infinite books naturally generate in the "Template:Code" dimension where it makes up the bulk of the dimension's terrain, and in the "Template:Code" dimension where 10 boxes can be found in the basement of the house.

The random books are tied to the Minecraft:block such that using the same block multiple times always returns an identical book. The title of the random books given by the block is correlated with the location of the block. The title's pattern takes the format <chunk X>/<chunk Z>/<block orientation>/<distance to the chunk's edge to the right of the block>/<block Y>, so books from the same block always has the same title and content.
