Minecraft Lectern PNG
The Lectern exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Functional” tab.

Sizes and quality
The Lectern render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

In the full tool you can add a shadow or shine, animate it as a video or use it for a tiled background, alongside the game’s 1,700+ items.
Open in the icon editorThe Minecraft lectern: books, librarians and redstone
A lectern displays a book and quill or written book for anyone to read, even several players at once. It will not take plain or enchanted books. On servers it is handy for leaving rules, instructions or the story of a place where everyone can see them.
It is also the librarian's job site block. An unemployed villager who finds a free lectern may become a librarian, the one who sells enchanted books, which is why it is one of the most used blocks in trading halls. If you do not like their offers, break and replace the lectern to reroll them, as long as you have not traded with them yet.
It has a redstone use. Turning a page sends a short full-strength pulse, and a comparator outputs a signal based on the page the book is open at. With a 15-page book each page raises the signal by one, which makes selectors or passwords possible.
Empty lecterns generate in village libraries, and one sits in the secret room at the centre of every ancient city.
