All these resource locations exist:
block.shelf.break
block.shelf.place
block.shelf.hit
block.shelf.fall
block.shelf.step
Yet shelves appear to reuse chiseled bookshelf sounds for these sounds.
This never happened before: all blocks that reuse another block’s sound type do not have their own resource locations (e.g., block.andesite.break, block.bell.place or minecraft:block.wooden_door.step do not exist because there’s no point in them existing, they’re duplicate of block.stone.break, block.anvil.place and minecraft:block.wood.step respectively).
This does not have any bad implication other than it feels oddly inconsistent?
Thank you for your report!
