Steps
Harvest bookshelves in NPC villages (optional). Villages and strongholds often include libraries with bookshelves. Gather sugar cane. You might think of these tall, green plants as reeds or bamboo. Turn the cane into paper. Turn the paper into books. Combine books and planks to make a bookshelf.Beside above, how many bookshelves do you need for fortune? From the wiki (emphasis mine): In order to increase the enchantment level, a bookshelf should be placed next to the enchantment table while keeping one block of air between them. To gain access to the previously mentioned level 30 enchantments, a total of 15 bookshelves need to be placed around the enchantment table.
Secondly, how many bookshelves do you need for silk touch?
Looking at the first table, it can be seen that at least 9 bookshelves are required to get Silk Touch in at least the third slot (the number of bookshelves where all the possible levels will be greater than or equal to 17).
Do more bookshelves give better enchantments?
1 Answer. Bookshelves increase the level of enchantments you can put on your items. For instance, without any bookshelves, you can only use enchantments from around levels 1-5. However, if you add more bookcases, you can use higher level enchantments.
