Chiseled Bookshelves were one of the first features announced by Mojang for the 1.20 update. Though regular bookshelves have been in the game for a long time, players cannot place or remove books from them. With chiseled ones, however, one can add or clear all three kinds of books from it. Moreover, such bookshelves will also offer a great way to store items and also create an actual library in the game.

Furthermore, they can also emit a redstone signal with a comparator when a book is added to or removed from them.

The new Cherry Grove biome will also generate adorable pink petals that will be scattered around the ground. These can be easily picked up by simply breaking them with hands or any tool. Pink petals are brilliant for decorating gardens and all kinds of structures. If users want more pink petals, they can simply use bone meal to grow more of them around the area.
