In vanilla Minecraft, there is only one type of bookshelf. No matter what type of wooden planks you use in the crafting recipe, the result will always be a bookshelf with the texture of the oak planks. But not anymore! MATT’s Bookshelves Expanded Mod introduces new bookshelf variants for all the vanilla wooden types. With this mod installed, the bookshelf obtained will depend upon the type of wood used in the crafting recipe. If you use dark oak planks, you will get a dark oak bookshelf as a result. Using mixed plank variants in a recipe will allow you to craft the vanilla bookshelf.
