Bookshelf Information

Bookshelves can be crafted by placing 3 books in the vertical middle slots of the crafting table, and wooden blocks of any colour in the remaining 6 slots. When placed around enchantment tables, they increase the maximum level of enchantment the table can provide. They can also be used as a fuel in furnaces, although this isn't recommended as it isn't the most efficient fuel.. unless you hate libraries!
