Hey it's EnderDurant here and today I'll be showing you how to make a usable bookcase.  It can be made in survival or creative mode.

Step 1:
First get all the items shown in the Items screenshot that are Necessary Items and any Optional Decorations you would like to use. (I used 3 Oak Wood Stairs and 1 Oak Wood Slab.)

Step 2:
Rename the Minecart with Chest to Bookcase (or book shelf etc.)  Do this by right-clicking the anvil, placing the minecart in the first slot, typing in Bookcase in the beige space and remove the mincart from the last slot.  (In survival you will need at least one XP level)

Step 3:
Place down any block and put a rail on top of it.  Then place the minecart with chest on the rail.  Break the block that you just placed.  The minecart will fall down one block.

Step 4:
Build up 3 blocks using junk blocks (dirt) and place a normal piston facing downwards.  Place a bookcase block on the wooden looking part of the piston.  Place a lever on the junk block beside the piston.
Example




Step 5:
Flip the lever to push the bookcase into the minecart.  The minecart will poke out of the bookcase on the top and 3 sides.  Break the junk block, piston and lever.
Example

Step 6.
Decorate!  Place blocks/ stairs around the sides where the minecart sticks out.  Look at some ways that I figured out.
Examples


Troubleshooting:

If you accidentally bump the minecart out of position you will have to restart.
If you are having issues with the minecart being too close to you and sticking out a little, try placing a sideways stair before breaking the block where the rail is on
Example
If the minecart spins and faces the wrong direction you will have to build the bookcase facing 90 degrees in a different direction.

If you have any other issues please leave a comment!
