A chiseled bookshelf is a block that can hold book-type items.

Obtaining

Crafting

Chiseled bookshelves can be crafted using 6 Planks and 3 Plank Slabs.

Usage

Holding Books

Chiseled bookshelves can hold up to 6 book-type items⁽¹⁾. There is no GUI, items are inserted by using them on one of the chiseled bookshelf's 6 slots, and removed by using an occupied slot. Stored items are visually displayed as books.

Looking at an occupied slot displays the stored item's name and tooltip on the player's screen.

Redstone Signal

A redstone comparator outputs a signal based on the last slot interacted it (1-6). If no slot has been interacted with yet, it outputs 0.

An observer can detect when an item is added or removed from the chiseled bookshelf.

Hoppers, minecarts with hoppers, and droppers

Hoppers, minecarts with hoppers, and droppers can insert and remove books from the bookshelf. Items are taken from the first slot that has an item that can fit in the container, and inserted into the first empty slot.
