Consists of

A trail ruin is a buried structure which works as an archeology site where suspicious gravel generates. The trail ruins may be found in a few temperate, cold and snow-covered biomes and resemble ruined villages "from a lost culture".

Structure

Generation

Trail ruins may be found on land or underwater, typically near to a river, an aquifer or an ocean. The structure may be found in the taiga, snowy taiga, old growth taiga, old growth birch forest and jungle biomes.

Aesthetics

The trail ruins are structures that generate mostly underground with only the tip above the ground. The ruins resemble small, ancient settlements. Each trail ruin has a main road made of cobblestone, stone, stone bricks which connects multiple small buildings and a central tower made of terracotta and glazed terracotta, the tip of which is the only part of the structure that does not tend to generate underground. Adjacent to the tower generates two rooms and sometimes other small buildings and décor made of mud bricks and terracotta. Most of the structure is buried in gravel, dirt, and coarse dirt, as well as suspicious gravel.

[[Stronghold]]s may contain up to two libraries, each of which may be single-level or have an upper balcony. These feature some bookshelves arranged in pillars, and more bookshelves arranged in pillars in the walls. Single-level libraries contain 161 bookshelves, while libraries with balconies contain 233. Bookshelves also naturally generate in certain [[woodland mansion]] rooms. === Breaking === Bookshelves can be broken fairly easily by hand, but can be broken faster by using an [[axe]]. In either case, they drop 3 books when broken, allowing the reconstruction of the bookshelf with the addition of six wood planks. When broken by an item that is [[enchanted]] with [[Silk Touch]], a bookshelf drops itself. {{breaking row|horizontal=1|Bookshelf|Axe}} === Crafting === {{Crafting |A1=Any Planks |B1=Any Planks |C1=Any Planks |A2=Book |B2=Book |C2=Book |A3=Any Planks |B3=Any Planks |C3=Any Planks |Output=Bookshelf |type=Building block }} === Trading === Novice-level librarian [[Villager|villagers]] have a 50% chance to sell 1 bookshelf for 9 [[Emerald|emeralds]] as part of their trades.{{only|bedrock}} Novice-level librarian villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell 1 bookshelf for 9 emeralds.{{only|java}} == Usage == === Enchanting === {{main|Enchantment mechanics#Bookshelf placement}} If an [[enchanting table]] is placed near a bookshelf, glyph [[particles]] fly from the bookshelf toward the enchanting table. Having bookshelves in the proper position near the table allows the table to apply higher-level enchantments. === Crafting ingredient === {{crafting usage}} === Fuel === Bookshelves can be used as a [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per block. === Villager === Librarian [[villager]]s can interact with bookshelves. === Note Blocks === Bookshelf can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass" sounds. == Sounds == {{Sound table/Block/Wood}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bookshelf |spritetype=block |nameid=bookshelf |showblocktags=y|blocktags=mineable/axe |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bookshelf |spritetype=block |nameid=bookshelf |id=47 |foot=1}} == Achievements == {{load achievements|Librarian}} == History == {{History|java classic}} {{History||October 24, 2009|link=https://notch.tumblr.com/post/221308991/the-new-block-types-and-new-graphics-for-the-gold|Bookshelves were teased by [[Notch]].}} {{History||0.26 SURVIVAL TEST|[[File:Bookshelf JE1.png|32px]] Added bookshelves. |Bookshelves are currently impossible to obtain without loading a pre-edited map. |Bookshelves are currently destroyed in [[explosion]]s. |When bookshelves are broken, they currently do not drop anything.}} {{History||0.28|Bookshelves can now be freely placed.}} {{History|java alpha}} {{History||v1.0.11|Bookshelves can now be [[crafting|crafted]] from 3 [[book]]s and 6 [[planks]].}} {{History|java beta}} {{History||1.8|snap=Pre-release|Bookshelves can now be found generated in libraries in [[village]]s, and libraries in [[stronghold]]s.}} {{History|java}} {{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3|Bookshelves now drop 3 [[book]]s when broken by a non-[[Silk Touch]] [[item]]. |They are now necessary to [[enchanting|enchant]] with higher levels for better enchanted items. |The number of bookshelves required to reach the maximum enchantment level is 30.}} {{History|||snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5|[[File:Bookshelf JE2 BE1.png|32px]] The top texture of bookshelves have now been updated as a result of the [[planks]] texture update.}} {{History||1.2.4|snap=release|[[Spruce planks]], [[birch planks]], and [[jungle planks]] can now be used to craft bookshelves.}} {{History||1.3.1|snap=12w21a|Librarian [[villager]]s now [[trading|sell]] 1 bookshelf for 3 [[emerald]]s.}} {{History|||snap=12w22a|The number of bookshelves required to reach the maximum enchantment level has been now decreased to 15.}} {{History||1.7.2|snap=1.7.1|[[Acacia planks]] and [[dark oak planks]] can now be used to craft bookshelves.}} {{History||1.8|snap=14w02a|Librarian villagers now sell 1 bookshelf for 3–4 [[emerald]]s.}} {{History||1.11|snap=16w39a|Bookshelves now generate in [[woodland mansion]]s.}} {{History||1.13|snap=17w47a|Prior to [[1.13/Flattening|''The Flattening'']], this [[block]]'s numeral ID was 47.}} {{History||1.14|snap=18w43a|[[File:Bookshelf JE3.png|32px]] The texture of bookshelves has now been changed.}} {{History|||snap=18w47a|[[File:Bookshelf JE4 BE2.png|32px]] The texture of bookshelves has now been changed, once again.}} {{History|||snap=19w02a|Bookshelves can now be used to craft [[lectern]]s.}} {{History||1.16|snap=20w06a|[[Crimson planks]] and [[warped planks]] can now be used to craft bookshelves.}} {{History||1.19|snap=22w11a|[[Mangrove planks]] can now be used to craft bookshelves.}} {{History|pocket alpha}} {{History||v0.2.1|[[File:Bookshelf JE2 BE1.png|32px]] Added bookshelves.|Bookshelves are currently obtainable only in [[Creative]] mode.}} {{History||v0.3.0|Bookshelves are now obtainable in [[Survival]] mode.}} {{History||v0.9.0|snap=build 1|Bookshelves now naturally spawn in [[stronghold]]s and [[village]]s.}} {{History||v0.12.1|snap=build 1|Bookshelves can now be used to increase [[enchantment table]] levels.|Bookshelves can now be obtained by using a [[tool]] with the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment.}} {{History|pocket}} {{History||1.0.4|snap=alpha 1.0.4.0|Librarian [[villager]]s now [[trading|sell]] 1 bookshelf for 3-4 [[emerald]]s as their second tier trade.}} {{History||1.1.0|snap=alpha 1.1.0.0|Bookshelves now generate in [[woodland mansion]]s.}} {{History|bedrock}} {{History||1.10.0|snap=beta 1.10.0.3|Bookshelves can now be used to craft [[lectern]]s.|Bookshelves now get inspected by librarian [[villager]]s.|[[File:Bookshelf JE4 BE2.png|32px]] The texture of bookshelves has been changed.}} {{History||1.11.0|snap=beta 1.11.0.4|[[Trading]] has now been changed, librarian villagers now have a 50% chance to sell a bookshelf for 6 [[emerald]]s as part of their first trade.}} {{History|console}} {{History||xbox=TU1|xbone=CU1|ps=1.00|wiiu=Patch 1|switch=1.0.1|[[File:Bookshelf JE2 BE1.png|32px]] Added bookshelves.

Issues

Issues relating to "Trail Ruins" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

• The trail ruins are the only natural source of mud bricks.
• One of the two buildings that generate adjacent to the tower will always have a ladder, which (if the player dig one block forward and one to the side) will lead to an opening in the wall of the main tower.
