Books Minecraft
Books in Minecraft are essential items for enchantments, trading and decoration. They are made of paper and leather and can be used in bookshelves to strengthen the magic table or as enchanted books for the targeted improvement of equipment.
Production
A book can be made in Minecraft using the following materials:
- 3x Paper - Made from sugar cane.
- 1x Leather - Obtained from cows, horses or through trade.
Recipe: Place the leather in the bottom center position of a 3x3 crafting table. Place the three pieces of paper in the three spaces above it. This gives you a book. In a 2x2 crafting table (e.g. in the inventory), the leather can be placed in any slot, while the three pieces of paper fill the remaining slots.
Usage
A book can be used for various purposes:
-
Enchanted Book - By using a magic table or anvil, books can be enchanted.
-
Bookshelves - With three books and six wooden planks, a bookshelf can be made to reinforce the enchanted table.
-
Book & Feather - With a feather and an ink bag, a writable book can be created.
-
Trade - Villagers (librarians) buy and sell books.
Enchantments
Books can be enchanted at the magic table and transferred to tools, armor and weapons using an anvil. This means that rare enchantments can be used in a targeted manner without having to enchant the desired item directly.
Tips
-
Fortune or Silk Touch? - Enchanted books allow the targeted use of both enchantments on tools.
-
Trade with Librarians - A great way to get powerful enchanted books.
-
Set up bookshelves - Place at least 15 around an enchantment table to reach maximum enchantment levels.
