to build bookshelves or enchant items inMinecraft, players first have to be able to make books. While books can be found in some parts of the world, it is easier just to make the ones needed than hoping to find enough to enchant items with some of the bestenchantments inMinecraft.
Creating Books
The recipe for making books is fairly simple: players just need three sheets of paper and one leather. But players can’t find paper out in the wild, so there are several steps to starting the book collection thatMinecraftplayers might be after. In thisgreat casual open-world game, players will need to start with the basics. A crafting table is needed to get started, which is made from four planks of any kind of wood.

Getting Paper
Players can find paper on shipwrecks, in strongholds, and in villages. Players can also create three sheets of paper out of three sugar cane; sugar cane grows near water and can also be sold by wandering traders. Sugar cane can also be planted by players near water sources and farmed. Once players have the paper needed to create their books, they will also need leather to create the binding.
Leather Farming
The best way to get a lot of leather is to catch and breed cattle inMinecraft.There are several critters that players cantame and breed inMinecraft, including bees, polar bears, and horses. Mobs that can be tamed and bred that drop leather include cows, mooshrooms, horses, donkeys, mules, and llamas. Hoglins can also drop leather too. However, the cow is probably the easiest mob to breed and catch, making it the best source of leather for those looking to make several books.
Cows follow players holding wheat, and breed with a gift of wheat as well. Wheat is one of the manycrops that can be planted by players inMinecraft, making it very easy to make a lot of leather in a very short period of time.
Finding Books
There are several places that players can find books if they are unwilling to gathering the materials to make them. Players can find books in villages in plains and desert house chests, in shipwrecks in map chests, and in strongholds' library chests. When mined without silk touch, bookshelves also break or explode into books, allowing players to swipe bookshelves from anyMinecraftvillages they come across.
