What is Acacia Shelf?
The acacia shelf is a small decorative wooden block that attaches to walls and creates a short ledge. It looks like a plank that sticks out slightly and is used to display items or to decorate interiors. Because it uses acacia wood it has a distinct warm colour that matches other acacia furniture and construction. It is decorative rather than structural so it will not support heavy objects in gameplay beyond its visual purpose. Shelves are a simple way to add detail and life to rooms and market stalls in player builds.
Where to find Acacia Shelf
Acacia shelves do not appear naturally in the world. You find the materials to make them in savanna biomes where acacia trees grow. Players craft shelves from acacia planks which are made by converting acacia logs in the crafting area. You may see shelves placed by players in villages and towns that use local wood for their buildings. Most of the time shelves are the result of player creativity and they appear in player built interiors markets and role play areas rather than as natural world features.
How to get Acacia Shelf
To get an acacia shelf you will first gather acacia logs from trees in the savanna family of biomes. Convert the logs into acacia planks in your crafting grid and then follow the shelf recipe which uses planks in the crafting area to create the shelf block. In creative mode you can take the acacia shelf directly from the inventory. For survival players the usual route is to harvest acacia wood then craft shelves as needed for interior decoration. Alternatively you might find shelves already placed in player made structures that you can harvest and reuse.
