Description
The bamboo shelf is a decorative ledge that looks like a small wooden plank attached to a wall. It is perfect for adding interior detail to shops kitchens and living spaces where a light wood look is desired. Shelves are small so they do not take up much room and they are ideal for showing off small items pots and plants. The bamboo version keeps a pale and natural look that suits tropical and modern designs and it blends nicely with bamboo planks and bamboo decorative blocks. Because shelves are cheap to craft using bamboo they are a popular choice for players who want to add a final touch to interiors without using a lot of materials. In survival mode the shelf can be placed above counters and in window areas to hold pots and small decorations that make a house feel lived in. For role play servers shelves are useful for creating shop displays and for staging market stalls with visible goods. The shelf is light weight and easy to replace so you can experiment with interior layouts until you are happy. It works well with hanging signs banners and lanterns to create cosy corners and market themed areas that feel authentic and organised.
What is Bamboo Shelf?

Where to find Bamboo Shelf
Shelves do not occur naturally in the world but players place them in houses and shops. The materials to make a bamboo shelf come from bamboo found in bamboo jungle and jungle biomes. Builders craft shelves to match the local building style and often place them in market areas and kitchens.
