3D Bookshelves Resource Pack
Version 1: No 3D Books, just indented
Version 2: Full 3D
You can look at the gist here to get access to my recent changes which include partial 3D books.

You should talk to the guys who made the 3d rails and 3d ladders and make an awesome resource pack together. :)

Why? Minecraft supports multiple rpacks

it would be less clutter in your resourcepack folder
1†
Yet more control. Clutter to something you almost never see. Give it a nice icon and its all good.

I have a technical query. I was looking through the code, and noticed a huge amount of "cubes"(27). From my understanding there need only be 5 cubes to create this model. Top, bottom, 2 sides, and the center bit. If I am wrong, please inform me.
*Sorry, I meant to say 12 cubes. Top, middle, bottom, 8 outer wooden supports, and the center bit.
2
Yes, I could probably reduce it a bit, and do plan on it. The cubes I am using are as follows:
two for the top and bottom
4 for the supports
I think, 6 for the center piece (this is the one I'll make 1)
And one for the back of each shelf, and (on my newer versions) 1 for each book
edit: the newer version (current gist) is much different then the download

Thanks for the reply. And for posting the files. I am trying to learn how these .json files are formatted. So I am going through every one I can get, examining them, and reverse engineering them to fit my needs.
Also, you picked the most inane block to work on. Bookshelves ignore the laws of physics. Having multiple books in the same space. Good luck making that work.
1
I have some ideas. See the most recent one.
3
Sorry to bother you again, but do lines 238-340 of your bookshelf.json actually have a purpose, or are they there as leftovers from an earlier version. I can delete them, and it makes no changes to the model in-game.

does anyone know where i can get a working blender exporter for these
1
Looks great!
1
Hmm, someone else was planning on making a full 3D version. AKA the individual books has some 3D to them as well.
1
That was me. And I got it almost working except for the reasons outlined above in the post.
1
Nice work. I couldn't quite follow the reasoning you stated in the post. It would be nice if you could try to "reexplain" it. Also: Is there a place where I can find out how to do this on my own?
1
If you look at the format for the cube, you might understand a bit. the general idea is you have a start and end coordinate (x, y, z, 0-16 on each) and then up to 6 faces, and that is x,y starting at 0,0 upper left of the image. the n,s,e,w,u,d directional on the face is which side of the texture to use (so bookshelves use the oak plank texture for up and down, the bookshelf texture for n,s,e,w

ok added to it, the italic section

Can I download this from another site? Mega doesnt work for me
1
Ok, there is now a Mediafire link
2
Thanks!
1
I'll try to move this to another site, Mega isn't great for me either.
1
You should try furnaces, pumpkins, and crafting tables too.
1
Why not have the books stick out to the same level as the shelf?
1
hmm I'll try that, but I feel like books are usually set back
3
Yeah but they don't look like they are real books in the current model, just some sore of lining in the bookshelf.
1
hmm ok I'll try that
3
Cool
1
Would it be possible for you to make a combination of the two? With the books set back, but the brown background set back even further?
1
this may be a silly question but how do i add this to my game , sorry if this is obvious :/
1
Add this exact one? Download the zip and move it to /resourcepacks, where /resourcepacks is in your minecraft data folder
1
thank you that was kind of dumb of me :D
1
Could I add these to Shadology?
1
Doesn't work yet. I'll make one for you tomorrow.
1
Thanks so much! Link to this thread or a YouTube channel or what in the read me?
1
You can link to this thread. I'll upload a converted one when I'm done making it and message you.

Appreciated

can I suggestion a third version that is essentially both merged together.
The books indented in one and the black indented in another or is that too intensive
1
I'm a little confused what you mean? I cannot push the books back further due to space-time mostly just space restrictions.
1
wow that was quick. What I mean is what you have in picture 1 but with the black space above the book indented in like you have done in image 2. I understand that it could be an issue because removing that layer could cause a gap at the corner but I think it would look good
1
I cannot push everything back 1, if that is what your suggesting.
1
don't worry. If sphax releases his tool tomorrow then I will have a go at making it
1
the github link is dead! please fix it!
1
huh?
1
Can you upload it on another website ? I can't access to mega and proxies doesn't work with this website.
Edit: nvm, I didn't see you gist.

Remember use the revision at the top not the main one
1
These won't work until 1.8, correct?
0
They work in the 14w10c snapshot too ;D
2
Note to people downloading (perhaps a good thing to add to the OP u/superezfe) is that if you have smooth lighting shut off completely these will not work well. The books will have a sort of shadow that obscures them.
Example pic here.
It will probably be fixed in another snapshot (hopefully).
It's fixed in the snapshot ;]
