Chiseled Bookshelf

Ingredients match the published snapshot.

Usage

The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.

The shelf stores books, written books, and enchanted books in six individually addressable slots. A player inserts a book into the clicked empty slot and removes it with an empty hand; hoppers and droppers can automate the container. Its visible slots also make the block a readable wall detail and a comparator input.

Sounds

Chiseled bookshelves use their own block sound family rather than generic wood interaction sounds. Insertion and pickup have separate events, with enchanted books receiving variants.

Behavior

Each slot has an occupied state and the block entity remembers the last slot changed. The face texture mirrors those six booleans, so the rendered pattern stays synchronized with the stored books; inserting an enchanted book uses a distinct sound event.

Data values

The block uses the `minecraft:chiseled_bookshelf` identifier and exposes six book slots. Empty and occupied faces are represented by separate local textures, while the block keeps the bookshelf family available for enchanting builds.

History

Chiseled bookshelves were introduced as a storage block with visible state. The interaction model evolved toward direct six-slot clicks, then gained hopper/dropper automation, unique sounds, and comparator output based on the last changed slot.
