The bookshelf at Minecraft at one time was purely decorative. However, in Beta 1.9 and later, this attribute found practical application. With the help of a bookshelf the player can improve the enchantment table, or rather increase the chance for the highest level of the spell. From that moment on, users became interested in how to craft a bookshelf.
Instant receipt
Here is one of the easiest ways to craft a bookshelf in Minecraft. More precisely, you don’t even have to do anything really. All you need is an ax and a little patience.
To make an ax, you need a workbench. You put a “stick” in the central middle and lower cells, and in the upper left corner, the center of the left column and the center of the upper line — material for the “blade” (3 boards, 3 cobblestones or any ore). After you craft an ax, you can hit the road.
You can find bookshelves in villages and forts. So we find any of these types of structures and scour in search of ready-made shelves. Once you find them, you will have two options.
- Those who have already advanced far in the game can use the "silk touch". Then, when chopping shelves, they will fall out whole and ready for use.
- Also, you can just chop the bookshelves into slivers. Three books and three boards will fall out of them. These materials can then be used for independent crafting of the cabinet.
Creature
If you are not lucky, and you could not find the structures mentioned above on the map, then you will have to figure out how to craft a bookshelf yourself. To do this, we need books and blackboards. Most likely, you already know how to get hold of the second material, therefore we will analyze the process of obtaining paper.
To craft it, you will need a reed ... And no more. This plant is grown on a special farm or collected in a swamp. Before crafting a bookshelf, let's calculate how much paper we need. Each bookcase will take three books, for which you will need 9 pieces of paper. To create this material, you need to have 3 units of reed, total 27 plants per shelf. To craft a piece of paper, lay out the collected plant in the center line of the workbench.
The creation of books may vary in different versions.
- In the pocket edition and on the Xbox, you can create a treasured item simply by placing paper in the center column of the workbench.
- In the PC version, you still need skin that needs to be placed in the lower left corner. You can get it by killing rabbits, and then remaking 4 of their skins into one unit of material.
After that, you can craft and shelves. To do this, lay out boards on the workbench in the lower and upper rows, and assembled or created books in the central strip. On this instruction on how to craft bookshelves ends.
Application
In order for the items you create to be useful, they still need to be installed correctly. Since shelves increase the chances of enchantment, they must be placed near your magic table. To do this, they must be placed at a distance of no more than one block from the table. If you did everything correctly, then various "symbols" will fly from the shelves to the center. Now you know everything about crafting a bookshelf in Minecraft.
