Overview
Lectern is a functional block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Lectern has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 2.5 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
Broken correctly, it drops itself. It offers almost no protection from explosions (2.5 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64.
It is crafted from Oak Slab and Bookshelf. Nothing is crafted from it.
