Description

Acacia Shelf is a decoration block that stores up to three stacks of items and displays them in front of the shelf, much like an item frame. Each of the three slots holds a full stack of any stackable item or a single non-stackable item. Using a slot of an unpowered Acacia Shelf swaps that slot's contents with the item in the player's main hand. Acacia Shelf is crafted from six stripped acacia logs, which makes six shelves per craft, and Acacia Shelf can be waterlogged.

Redstone turns Acacia Shelf into a hotbar swapper. A powered Acacia Shelf links its three slots and swaps all of them at once with the three rightmost hotbar slots, and two or three powered shelves side by side swap six or nine slots. A redstone comparator against the back of Acacia Shelf outputs 1 for an item in the left slot, 2 for the middle slot and 4 for the right slot, up to a maximum of 7. Hoppers and droppers fill Acacia Shelf from left to right, and a hopper underneath removes items. One Acacia Shelf smelts 1.5 items as furnace fuel.

Guide

How to Craft and Use Acacia Shelf in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft six shelves

    The crafting table takes six stripped acacia logs in two rows of three with one empty row between them. The recipe yields six Acacia Shelves.

  2. 2

    Place items on the shelf

    Acacia Shelf holds one stack in each of its three slots. Using a slot of an unpowered Acacia Shelf swaps the slot's contents with the item in the main hand.

  3. 3

    Power the shelf with redstone

    A redstone signal links the slots of Acacia Shelf into one swap with the hotbar. Two or three powered shelves placed side by side join into one group.

  4. 4

    Fill the shelf automatically

    Hoppers and droppers fill Acacia Shelf from left to right and gather identical items into one slot until that slot is full.

  5. 5

    Read the shelf with a comparator

    A redstone comparator placed against the back of Acacia Shelf reports which slots hold items.

Left-side priority

Powered shelves prioritise connecting to other shelves on the left, which decides how a long powered row splits into groups.
