In Minecraft, shelves function much like decorative item holders called item frames. These shelves can store and display up to three items at a time. Players can easily swap these stored items into their own inventories by interacting with them.

These shelves can be crafted from any existing wood type available within the game. Additionally, they are compatible with redstone, allowing players to connect multiple shelves together to transfer a larger number of items to their hotbar all at once. The shelves will officially become available in Minecraft with its third game drop later this year. However, players can get an early glimpse of them – along with other experimental features – by checking out the latest preview version on Bedrock Edition.
