The bookshelf is a decorative block in the game Minecraft, by itself it does not perform useful functions, but in combination with the enchanting table it allows you to increase the available level of enchantments.
Extraction of ingredients
A bookshelf or bookcase consists of six pieces of blackboard and three books. On the workbench, they should be arranged as follows: fill the upper and lower horizontals with boards, and the middle with books.
The tree is one of the most common resources in the game. Planks can be made from any wood. The easiest way to get it is with an ax from any available material. To make an ax, place two sticks in the bottom two cells of the central vertical in the workbench grid, and fill one of the top corners with three blocks of planks (cobblestones, iron ingots, etc.). Wood is obtained with an ax much faster than with hands or any other tool.
Making the books a little harder. Any book consists of three sheets of paper and a unit of leather. The paper must be made from cane. This plant is three blocks high and can be found on the shores of water bodies. It can grow both on the ground and on the sand if there is water in the cage next door. If you find reeds near your home, do not touch the bottom block of the plant, as new shoots will grow from it over time.
If there is not enough reed, plant it along the shore of the reservoir. You may need paper not only for creating bookcases, but also for obtaining a map of the area or crafting fireworks. To create three sheets of paper, fill the center line on the workbench with reed.
Where can I get the skin for books?
Leather is a fairly rare resource. You can get it after killing a cow. Cows are friendly creatures that can be found in plains, jungles, and in general in any area where there are blocks of grass. Blocks of grass are termed blocks of earth or mud with a green surface. Usually cows roam in groups of 4 to 12 cows. You can kill them with your hands or any tool, the fastest way to do this is with any sword. One cow can drop up to 2 units of skin.
If you want to make a lot of bookcases, it makes sense to bring the cows to the house and make a farm to breed them, especially if you've already set up a permanent home. This can be done with wheat in your hand, or with a leash. It can be made from threads and slime, to do this, place a unit of slime in the center slot of the workbench, arrange three units of threads so that they fill the upper left corner, and put one thread in the extreme right.
Unfortunately, slime is a very rare resource, if you don't have it, use wheat. By the way, it is she who is needed for the reproduction of cows, holding it in your hand, you need to right-click on two animals, hearts will appear above them, they will come closer to each other, and after a while a calf will appear. To reach adulthood, he needs 20 minutes of real time.
