Minecraft:Chiseled Bookshelf

Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox block Chiseled bookshelves are Minecraft:blocks that can hold Minecraft:books, Minecraft:books and quills, Minecraft:written books, Minecraft:enchanted books, and Minecraft:knowledge books.

Obtaining

Breaking

Chiseled bookshelves can be destroyed with any Minecraft:tool, but an Minecraft:axe mines it the fastest. When broken, all contained books are dropped as items. The block itself drops only when broken using a tool enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Template:Breaking row

Usage

Chiseled bookshelves cannot be moved by Minecraft:pistons.Template:Only

Holding books

Chiseled bookshelves can hold up to six Minecraft:books, Minecraft:books and quills, Minecraft:written books, Minecraft:enchanted books, and/or Minecraft:knowledge books. There is no GUI; books are instead added into the bookshelf by Template:Ctrl on a slot with a book. Doing so places a book in that slot. Template:Ctrl on an occupied slot removes the book from that slot.

Chiseled bookshelves do not increase the power of Minecraft:enchanting tables.

Redstone signal

The correspondences between slot and signal power

A Minecraft:redstone comparator sends a signal (1–6) indicating the last slot interacted with. When no slot has been interacted with yet, it outputs 0.

An Minecraft:observer can detect when a book is added or removed from the bookshelf.

Hoppers, minecarts with hoppers, and droppers

Minecraft:Hoppers and Minecraft:minecarts with hoppers can insert and remove books from the bookshelf. As with any other container, items are taken from the first slot that has an item that can fit in the hopper and are inserted into the first empty slot. Minecraft:Droppers behave similarly when inserting books into the bookshelf.

When a hopper that is not already 100% full fails to remove a book from a non-empty bookshelf because there is no room for the book in the hopper's inventory, that is still counted as an "interaction" with the slot. Thus, a hopper that cannot remove any of the books effectively sets the last-interacted slot to the last non-empty slot in the bookshelf.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Fuel

Chiseled bookshelves can be used as fuel in furnaces to smelt 1.5 items.
