How to Make Mangrove Shelf in Minecraft
Mangrove Shelf
Mangrove Shelf is a wooden display block that holds three item stacks (full piles of identical items) and shows every stored item on the front.
Description
Redstone power turns Mangrove Shelf into a hotbar station: interacting with one powered shelf swaps all three slots with the three rightmost hotbar slots, and three connected powered shelves trade the whole nine-slot hotbar in a single interaction. A Redstone Comparator reads which slots hold items, Hoppers and Droppers load Mangrove Shelf automatically, and a Hopper underneath pulls items out from left to right. As furnace fuel, one Mangrove Shelf smelts 1.5 items, matching every overworld shelf.

Guide
How to craft and use a Mangrove Shelf in Minecraft
-
1
Gather six mangrove logs
Mangrove trees grow in mangrove swamp biomes, so break six Mangrove Logs from the trunks there.
-
2
Strip the logs with an axe
Use an axe on each Mangrove Log to remove the bark; stripping is permanent, so keep a few plain Mangrove Logs aside for other recipes.
-
3
Craft six shelves
Place three Stripped Mangrove Logs across the top row of a crafting grid and three more across the bottom row; the recipe produces six Mangrove Shelves at once.
-
4
Fill the three slots
Place Mangrove Shelf and interact with each of the three slots; every interaction swaps the item in the main hand with the slot's contents.
-
5
Power the shelf for hotbar swaps
Run a redstone signal into Mangrove Shelf to combine the three slots: one powered shelf swaps with the three rightmost hotbar slots, and three connected powered shelves swap all nine hotbar slots at once.
Mangrove Shelf is flammable and catches fire from lava, so build shelf displays away from fireplaces and lava lighting.

Frequently asked questions
Does each Mangrove Shelf slot hold a full stack?
Each of the three slots holds a full stack of a stackable item or a single unstackable item such as a tool. Mangrove Shelf never displays the exact number of items inside a stack.
How does a Redstone Comparator read Mangrove Shelf?
A Redstone Comparator reads Mangrove Shelf only from the back of the shelf. An item in the left slot gives a signal of 1, the middle slot gives 2, and the right slot gives 4, up to 7 in total.
What breaks Mangrove Shelf the fastest?
An axe breaks Mangrove Shelf faster than any other tool, though shelves also break by hand without a tool.
Can pistons move Mangrove Shelf?
Pistons cannot move Mangrove Shelf in Java Edition, so build the shelf wall exactly where the display should stay.
Can Mangrove Shelf be waterlogged?
Yes, Mangrove Shelf can be waterlogged.
