About this Mod
A shelf is a functional block that can hold and display up to three stacks of items. It comes in twelve different wood variants and is crafted from six matching blocks of any stripped log, stripped stem, or block of stripped bamboo.
The shelf can store up to 3 item stacks:
- Interacting with any of the 3 slots on its front swaps the player's main hand item with the content of that slot.
- The shelf displays all items it contains in front of it, similar to an item frame.
- While a shelf is powered by redstone, its front texture changes to reflect that it's powered; when placed next to each other, up to 3 powered shelves will connect.
- Interacting with a single powered shelf swaps all its contents with the 3 rightmost items in the player's hotbar.
- Interacting with two connected shelves swaps their contents with the 6 rightmost items in the player's hotbar.
- Interacting with three connected shelves swaps their contents with all items in the player's hotbar.
It does not matter which of the connected shelves the player interacts with.
- New Copper Items & Copper Golem not included
