Shelves are easy to build and are essential to upping your enchanting game. They can also be used as a decorative material due to their wonderful structure. Other than that, you can also turn it into a desk, which is used to trade valuables with the villagers.
Create a shelf in Minecraft on a Switch
Nintendo Switch players can use Pro Controller, JoyCons, or a third-party controller to play Minecraft. The control scheme is identical by default. There is no need to worry about memorizing more than one design.

- Place planks in the top and bottom rows of the grid using ZL.
- Place three books in the middle row.
- Take the shelf made with ZL.
- Put it in your inventory.

What do shelves do in Minecraft?
There are many uses for a shelf. The main use is to place it near an enchantment table. If you have enough around, the enchantment table can enchant your items with higher level enchantments. Place them within two blocks of the enchantment table to power it up. You’ll know it’s working when you see runic symbols flying across the middle.
In addition, bookshelves are also a crafting ingredient for Desks, which are building blocks for Librarian Villagers. Librarian villagers can also interact with the library itself, but not much happens there. You can also use them as fuel in a furnace if you want, but you’d be much better off using another source for that.
What is a library in Minecraft?
A bookcase is a decorative block that can be used to store books in Minecraft. When placed next to an enchantment table, it will increase the level of enchantments that can be performed on that table.
Libraries can be found inside generated structures, such as libraries (found in villages).
