If your goal is just to avoid killing animals, technically you can get bookshelves from villagers through trading (also just in villages and strongholds themselves).
Okay, I thought of that too, but then you’re honestly just outsourcing the problem. You don’t know how villagers made their books.
(Yes, I know, they technically just spawn them in.)
So, do you also avoid leather products in Minecraft? Because that kinda locks you out of progression with enchanting unless you play modded.
never got the point of leather armour, your gonna hit iron before long anyway, why waist time and resources on leather armour?
books need leather which is why enchanting was mentioned. base game enchanting without books is not ideal
ohh forgot about enchantments

Depends on the definition of an animal. I suggest we go with science instead of tradition and include humans.
