Minecraft · Paper and books | Compare
Choose a variant below. Closely related recipes, conditions or opening branches are collected here so you can compare them without moving between almost identical pages.
The version and limits of the original source apply to every entry. Quantities and requirements belong to the named variant; do not add alternative recipes or opening lines together.
These options share a planning task. Their differences stay visible in the individual rows and calculators.
These recipes cover vanilla Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. They are not recipes for Minecraft Classic, browser recreations or a promise of compatibility with Bedrock, mods or other versions.
Using this reference
For Paper and books, choose the crafting method before entering a target quantity. A crafting-grid recipe and a stonecutter recipe can produce different amounts from the same kind of input. The calculator rounds up to complete operations, so compare the output and surplus as well as the ingredient total.
An ingredient group separated by slashes means alternatives for that slot, not a request to collect every listed item. Keep the layout of a shaped recipe intact. Furnace time is shown per operation; it is not a fuel budget or the completion time of several parallel furnaces.
Book
How many materials do I need?
- Operations needed
- 64
- Items produced
- 64
- Extra items
- 0
- 192 × Paper
- 64 × Leather
Rounded up to complete operations. These are direct recipe inputs, not a recursive raw-material shopping list. Reusable containers may be returned by the game.
A worked example
Suppose you want 4 × Book. This recipe produces 1 per operation, so you need 4 operations. That produces 4 in total. The direct material list is Paper × 12 and Leather × 4.
