Bookshelf

A Bookshelf serves as a decoration or furnace fuel (it is an extremely inefficient fuel due to the resources it requires and burn time being only fifteen seconds). Bookshelfs naturally occur in "libraries" inside strongholds, and NPC villages, but no resource-blocks drop from them. A single Bookshelf can be crafted by arranging six wooden planks and three books in the pattern below:

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.

As one bookshelf requires three books, books require three sheets of paper, and paper requires one sugar cane per sheet (three at a time), therefore nine sugar canes 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.
