To make paper in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Find sugarcane growing near water sources like rivers or oceans.
- Harvest three pieces of sugarcane.
- Open a crafting table and place the three sugarcane pieces in a single row (top, middle, or bottom).
- This will craft 3 pieces of paper.
Sugarcane is easy to find near water and grows in clusters. Harvest sustainably by breaking only the bottom two blocks so the top block can regrow. Paper is used in many crafting recipes such as maps, books, and trading with villagers.
