Simple Shelves
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.17–1.19. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Simple Shelves
Fabric mod for 1.17 and up. Adds shelves to display items and books. Yes, it is heavily inspired by BiblioCraft, but was coded entirely independently of said mod.
Features
- To insert a book (or stack of books), use (right click) the book on the book shelf. To extract a book, use an empty hand on the book you want to extract.
- You can insert up to 12 books on a book shelf, 3 per quadrant.
- Each quadrant can hold either up to three stacks of books, or one stack of generic items. (To insert or extract a generic item, see inserting and extracting books.)
- Hoppers can insert and extract from shelves, but only books, enchanted books, redstone books (see below), and anything that can be put on a lectern.
- Redstone books cause bookshelves to emit strong redstone signal from their rear side. The strength of the signal depends on how many redstone books are in the slot.
- Redstone books stack to 15. The shelf emits a redstone value equivalent to the number of redstone books in the slot with the most redstone books in it. For example, if a shelf has one stack of 7 redstone books in one slot and a stack of 12 redstone books in another slot, the shelf will emit a redstone strength of 12.
- Redstone Books are crafted with a book and a redstone torch (shapeless).
- Shelves come in all eight vanilla wood colors. If a mod maker wishes to add their wood color to the mix, the shelves are easily extensible. (Open an issue if you need details.)
Compatibility (Please Read)
- Sodium is only compatible if Indium is installed. Please use the latest versions of both, otherwise all shelves will be invisible.
