Though they may be nice to look at, Minecraft’s bookshelves have a few uses that may not be readily apparent.
Primarily, bookshelf blocks are used to power up the potency of enchantments for nearby enchanting tables. If a table is within two blocks of a bookshelf, it will receive magical runes that float into the enchanting table’s central book, improving the enchantment quality that a tool or piece of gear can receive.
Moreover, bookshelf blocks are a requisite component when crafting a lectern block. They can also be used to fuel furnaces in a pinch, although they don’t perform particularly well as fuel in Minecraft.
Minecraft: How villagers interact with bookshelves and lecterns
</figcaption></figure>
<p>Minecraft’s librarian villagers are currently the only mob that is known to have interactions with the actual bookshelf blocks themselves. However, when used to craft a lectern, the bookshelf’s uses open up considerably. </p>
<p>Lecterns are used in Minecraft as a job site block for librarians. They also allow players in multiplayer to read a book written by another player as well as a book & quill.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, lecterns can even be used to generate a redstone current. Every time a page is turned, a lectern will temporarily emit a full-strength redstone signal. This means that lecterns can, in theory, be used in redstone machinery for whatever purposes deemed necessary.</p>
<p>Redstone comparators can also pick up on the turning of book pages on a lectern. The signal strength is doubled in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition due to the platform’s capability of displaying two book pages at once.</p>
<p>Much like bookshelf blocks, lecterns can be placed into a smelter as a fuel source to smelt roughly one-and-a-half items before expiring. This is obviously not an economical choice, but it may be helpful in a difficult situation where no other fuel is available. Additionally, similar to barrels, placing a lectern or bookshelf under a note block can produce a bass sound when the note block is activated.</p>
<p>Although bookshelves don’t have as many uses as some other blocks in Minecraft, it’s entirely possible that more capabilities will be added for the well-known block. Mojang updates Minecraft consistently and is always creating new blocks and reworking existing ones.</p>
