A knowledge book is a utility item that reveals available crafting recipes to the player when used.
Knowledge books can be obtained only by using commands, as they are not found in the Creative inventory.
For example, a player can give themselves a knowledge book that reveals the recipes for buckets and flower pots by running the following command: /give @s knowledge_book[recipes=[bucket,flower_pot]].
Knowledge books are used to reveal recipes to the player who uses it, by adding it to their recipe book. Using a knowledge book consumes it, removing it from the player's inventory.
Knowledge books are especially useful to mapmakers in conjunction with /gamerule doLimitedCrafting true, because then any item is craftable only if its recipe is unlocked first.
Using a chiseled bookshelf while having a knowledge book in the main hand puts the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.
