More Bookshelves Variants
More Bookshelves Variants adds bookshelves in new wood types, along with fire and fuel behavior for the added blocks and support for Quad.
What it does
Each bookshelf in the mod comes in a different wood type, so a build can match its surroundings without relying on the vanilla oak and spruce shelves. Bookshelves of the new woods can power enchanting tables, which lets a player set up an enchanting room with any of them.
Fire and fuel behavior follows the wood type. Bookshelves made from the Nether wood types do not burn, and they are not accepted as furnace fuel, while the other variants burn and fuel furnaces as their wood does. Quad is a required dependency, and the mod is open source under the MIT License. Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.11 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod.
Key features
Bookshelves in several woods
Each wood type gets its own bookshelf block, so builders can mix woods across a library.
Enchanting table power
The new bookshelves count toward the power of an enchanting table, like the vanilla shelves.
Fire and fuel rules
Non-Nether variants burn and work as furnace fuel, while Nether wood types are excluded from both.
Nether wood fire immunity
Bookshelves made from Nether woods resist fire, so they can sit near lava and flames without burning.

Builders can use a different bookshelf wood for each room of a library or study.
Enchanting rooms
Shelves of the new woods can surround an enchanting table to raise its bookshelf count.
Who it’s for: Builders and survival players who want more bookshelf designs than vanilla offers. Server owners should install the mod on the server and on every client, since the environment is client and server.
How it compares
More Bookshelves Mod is a Forge-only option for 1.20.1, released under All rights reserved and not open source. Variant Bookshelves covers Fabric and Quilt for 1.20 – 1.20.1 under the MIT License, but is not open source. Extended bookshelves is open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, but it is a Fabric-only mod for 1.17.1 – 1.18.2, so it does not cover the versions this mod supports.
