Bookshelf

Bookshelf has two textures: one borrowed from the plank block put on the top and bottom of the block, and one edited version of the plank texture put on all four sides.

Bookshelves serve as decorations or furnace fuel ( although it is very ineffective as furnace fuel because it just burns for fifteen seconds ). A single Bookshelf can be crafted by arranging six wooden planks and three books in the pattern below:

As one bookshelf requires three books, books require three sheets of paper, and paper requires one sugar cane per sheet (three at a time), nine sugar cane are necessary for each bookshelf block. If sugar cane is allowed to grow to their full height before harvesting and only the top two segments are removed, then nine sugar cane plants will provide enough for two bookshelves, or 9/2 × 64 = 288 plants (plus 96 logs for the wood) for a full stack of 64 bookshelves in one harvest.

Bookshelves can be destroyed fairly easily by hand, but quicker using an axe. Note that when bookshelves are broken in any way, no resource-blocks drop from them to be picked up. Bookcases should be placed with accuracy considering they can only be placed once. Bookshelves are flammable and will be destroyed easily in explosions.

While Bookshelves are only decorative objects in SSP, certain SMP mods (for instance, the hMod plugin CraftBook) allow players to right-click bookshelves to pull a random quote.
