1. To make a bookshelf in Minecraft game, there are different types of materials that can be used; they include; 6 Oak Planks, 3 books, 6 spruce planks, 6 Crimson Planks, 6 Acacia Planks. From this, you can see there are different types of planks you can use. However, the most important materials you will need are 3 books and any of the planks listed above.
2. The first thing you should do is to open the crafting menu so you can easily locate the crafting table. The crafting table consists of a 3x3 crafting grid.
3. The 3x3 crafting grid is where the materials will be placed. Like I said earlier, you can use any of the planks together with three books as your materials. Here, let's use 6 Acacia Planks.
4. Out of the 6 Acacia planks, place 3 inside the first row of the 3x3 crafting grid. The second row is where you should put the 3 books and the remaining 3 Acacia planks inside the third row. Doing this will automatically create the bookshelf, but remember to move it to inventory.
