Minecraft: How to Put Books on Bookshelves (Vanilla 1.6)

As of now (1.6), we can't actually put books in bookshelf blocks. So, here's my tutorial on how to simulate bookshelf functionality in Minecraft:

Step 1: Make a frame out of bookshelves like this. The inside space needs at least two empty block spaces per row. If you're wondering why we even need a bookshelf frame, it's so that people can recognize that it's a bookshelf.

Step 2: Place stairs like this.

Step 3: Place more stairs, these ones facing you. This will turn the upper left and lower right stair into a "corner stair piece."

Step 4: Get some hoppers and name them "Bookshelf" (you'll need two for the way we're making it). This step is important, as it makes your bookshelf seem magical.

Step 5: Go to the back of your bookshelf. Place your hoppers touching the corner stair pieces of the bookshelf.

Step 6: Go back to the front. Right-click the little indentations on the corner stair pieces. This is how you access the bookshelf's inventories.

Step 7: Put some books in. You now have a bookshelf that can hold books. Enjoy, and thanks for reading!
