Book

Book is an item in Minecraft. It is crafted from 3 Paper and 1 Leather. It is used to make Enchanting Table and Bookshelf.

Books are obtained by crafting three paper and one leather in a crafting table or by looting chests in villages, strongholds, and bastions. They are primarily used to craft bookshelves and enchanting tables, allowing players to access higher-level enchantments.

Books are also used to craft Book and quills for writing custom text and enchanted books, which store enchantments that can be applied to tools, weapons, and armor using an anvil.
