Bookcases



Bookcases are crafting stations used for the creation of three Hardmode Magic Weapons: Crystal Storm, Cursed Flames and Golden Shower. Until Hardmode it can be used as decorative Furniture, and fulfills a House's Flat Surface Item requirement. It can be crafted using twenty Wood and ten Books gathered from the Dungeon. A Bottle (or similar) can be placed on it and used as a Placed Bottle for crafting Potions.

There are currently 27 craftable Bookcases, and 6 versions looted from the environment: one from the Underworld, four from the Dungeon, and one from the Pirate Invasion. They are all functionally identical, differing only in their visuals.

Trivia

 * The Bookcase actually shows 13 books stored, similar to how a placed book shows 2-3 books.
 * Although it is not required to make it, the Water Bolt's unique sprite is visible in most bookcases (a blue book with white/brown band).
 * The Boreal Wood Bookcase, the Slime Bookcase and the Crystal Bookcase are the only three to have horizontally placed books, being the only display of books that way in the game.
 * Despite Cactus and Living Wood Bookcases having no visible top surfaces, objects can still be placed on top of them, in some cases appearing to float in midair.
 * The Shadewood, Martian, Slime, and Dynasty are the only bookcases to show more than two rows of books.
