The Chiseled Bookshelf is a storage block that allows players to store and retrieve Books, Enchanted Books, and Written Books. It is crafted using 6 Planks of any type and 3 Wooden Slabs in a 3×3 crafting grid. Unlike a Bookshelf, a Chiseled Bookshelf does not generate naturally and must be crafted by the player.
A Chiseled Bookshelf can hold up to six books, which are visually displayed as they are added. Players can place or remove books in any slot. Unlike a regular Bookshelf, it does not enhance Enchanting Tables.
A Chiseled Bookshelf can also interact with Redstone components. A Comparator reads how many books are stored. A Chiseled Bookshelf can be mined with any tool, but axes break it the fastest. Unlike a Bookshelf, it does not drop books when broken, making it primarily useful for book storage and Redstone interactions.
