Ingredients for making Lectern in Minecraft
Before we get into learning how to make a lectern in Minecraft, it is important to note down its ingredients.
To make a lectern, you will need:
- Four Wooden Slabs
- One Bookshelf
- Crafting Table
The guide on how to make a lantern can only kick start if you know how to make a bookshelf in Minecraft.
How to make a bookshelf in Minecraft?
To make a bookshelf you need books, of course. Here is an easy guide to making a book.
To make a book you will need:
- 3 pieces of leather
- 9 papers
Start by looking for cows in Minecraft because you will need leather dropped by cows to craft books which will then be used to craft a bookshelf. You need a total of three books to make a bookshelf.
Cows can easily be found around the grassland. One thing to be made sure of is that cows do not always drop leather, and so, you will have to look for them until you get all the leather that you need.
Next, you need to make paper. To make paper you need to have sugarcane. You can either look for sugarcane around riverbeds or grow your own. Paper is made from three sugarcanes. Each sugarcane yields three pieces of paper, and you’ll need nine total pieces of paper to construct the books for a lectern. Find nine sugarcane plants or develop your own to get the sugarcane you require.
Open the crafting table, place sugarcane as shown below, and make the paper as required by the recipe. Remember that you need nine papers to make a book.
Now that you have leather and paper to make a book, just put the ingredients on the crafting table. Unlike many Minecraft recipes, a recipe for books is forgiving; you can place paper and leather anywhere on the table and you still get your final product: a book. A book requires one leather and three pieces of paper to make.
Lastly, you need slabs. For slabs, you need to cut down trees, turn the logs into planks, and planks into slabs. Place three books in the middle of the crafting table and surround these books with wooden planks. Now you are ready to learn how to make a lectern in Minecraft.

A job site for Villagers
A lectern is generally used by villagers as an employment block. Any unassigned villager will seek out a nearby work block, and the librarian profession will be assigned to a villager by the lectern. A standard book will be transformed into an enchanted book by librarians. As long as the librarian is level one and has not traded, you can refill their inventory.
This implies you can replenish a librarian’s stock until they sell the charming book you’re seeking for. An extremely precious enchanted book is being repaired because these books can only be found and cannot be enchanted regularly.
To hold a book and a quill
Lecterns can also be used to hold a book and a quill. This is a lovely piece of furniture for any space in your home. By right-clicking on your lectern, you can read the book and quill. You cannot, however, make changes while it is on the lectern.
Use as a decorative item
Lecterns also have an interesting use where they will emit a Redstone pulse if a book and quill are placed on one. You can use it as a way of dimming lights in your room.
