History[edit]
| August 18, 2012 | The lectern was an old project of Dinnerbone's. It was meant to be a stand for written books, so they could be easily read. He was well on his way to creating it when he encountered problems and scrapped the idea, but mentioned that he might pick up work on the lectern in the near future. | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 18, 2013 | Dinnerbone states in his Reddit AMA that he has revisited lecterns, but scrapped them again as "something about them just didn't feel right". | ||||
| October 18, 2018 | Dinnerbone reveals that the lectern is once again in development. | ||||
| Upcoming Java Edition | |||||
| 1.14 | 18w44a | Added lecterns. | |||
| Lecterns are currently only obtainable from the creative inventory and have no functionality. | |||||
Lecterns currently have a BookItem field, which holds the book item to be displayed. However, this field cannot be set and is not written to the block entity. | |||||
| 18w48a | Lecterns can now generate in plains village libraries | ||||
| 18w48a | Lecterns now can also generate in savanna and snowy tundra village libraries. | ||||
