How to make paper in Minecraft – Easy Steps

Paper is an incredibly important multipurpose item in Minecraft. It is used to make books that are essential for creating an enchantment table. It can enchant books and, when used on a crafting table, allows users to apply different types of enchantments to items. In addition to books, paper is also used to make maps, create a chart table, and set fireworks.

Papel and Minecraft

Paper can be found naturally in shipwrecks, fortresses, and villages. Villages are the only common structure in Minecraft, while fortresses and shipwrecks are harder to find. The good news is that paper is incredibly easy to craft. It is much better to create paper yourself than to search for it in chests.

Make paper in Minecraft

To make paper in Minecraft, you need;

• A craft table
• Sugar cane: 3

Obtaining sugar cane

Sugarcane occurs naturally in the outer world of Minecraft. It is common and all you need to ‘break’ the sugar cane is your hand. Literally anything you can use to break a block can be used to break sugar cane.

Sugarcane can be found near water. It can be next to small lakes or next to the sea. Spawns only on sand blocks. If you see water that doesn’t have sand around it, you won’t find sugar cane there. There is a monumentally small chance that sugarcane will grow in the ground, but the chance is so small that you only need to consider sand blocks and water sources when looking for sugarcane stalks.

Look for blocks of sand around the water, both inland and near the sea. Sugarcane comes in ‘stalks’. Each segment of the stem will drop a sugar cane. A stem with 3-4 segments will give you 3-4 sugar cane. The image below shows stems 2, 3, and four segments tall.

You can use a single sugarcane stalk to grow more sugarcane. Plant it in a sand block and it will grow. Once you have 3 sugar canes, you can make paper.

Three pieces of sugar cane will give you 3 pieces of paper.

conclusion

Maps and enchantment tables are some of the most important items players use in the game. Both items require paper for construction. If you are looking to add some aesthetic blocks to your Minecraft home, you can create bookshelves that, again, require paper for books. The paper is also used to make banners that are another aesthetic block. Paper has been a part of Minecraft for years and is available in the Java and Bedrock / Windows 10 version of the app.
