Bookshelf
Bookshelf is the enchantment-table booster — fifteen of them around a table unlock the maximum level-30 enchantments.

Description
Bookshelf is crafted from six wood planks (any species, mixable) plus three books arranged on the crafting grid — the planks form the frame and the books fill the central row, yielding one shelf per recipe. Books themselves come from leather, paper, and one piece of leather, so a single shelf requires a small but specific resource investment.
The block has one major mechanical role: it boosts the maximum enchantment level available at an enchanting table when placed within a one-block radius around the table, with one block of air between table and shelves. A single shelf raises the maximum from level eight to higher tiers; fifteen shelves arranged in a hollow ring around the table unlock level thirty enchantments — the highest the game offers and required for the strongest gear like Mending and Sharpness V from a single roll. Mining without silk touch drops three books rather than the shelf itself, so harvesting it intact requires the appropriate enchantment. The block is also flammable like all wood-derived materials.
