The Dark Oak Shelf is a wooden storage block crafted from six Stripped Dark Oak Logs placed in two horizontal rows within a 3×3 crafting grid. It stores and displays up to three item stacks, with each item visible on the shelf’s front, offering both functionality and visual appeal. Players can interact with each slot to swap the held item with the one displayed, making it a convenient way to organize commonly used items or decorations.

When powered by redstone, the Dark Oak Shelf can connect with up to two adjacent shelves to form a group that swaps its stored items with the player’s hotbar. A single powered shelf swaps three slots, two shelves swap six, and three shelves swap all nine. Comparators detect how many slots contain items, emitting a redstone signal from 0 to 7 based on fullness, enabling integration into automated redstone systems.

With a hardness of 2 and blast resistance of 3, the Dark Oak Shelf is best mined using an axe. It is flammable, waterloggable, and compatible with hoppers and droppers for automated storage setups. The rich, dark tone of dark oak wood gives the Dark Oak Shelf an elegant and classic look, perfect for rustic bases, libraries, and cozy interior builds.
