Obtaining
When mined with anything, sugarcane drops itself.
If it does not have either Sand, Dirt, Grass, or another piece of sugarcane beneath it, it drops as an item.
Natural Generation
Sugarcane is generated naturally in the Overworld in forest and plains biomes.
Bonemeal
When Bone Meal is used on Grass, there is a chance of it spawning sugarcane.
Usage
Farming
Sugarcane can be farmed by placing it on the ground. It will gradually grow (up to four blocks tall), and does not need to be on Farmland, or near Water. This means sugarcane is a renewable resource.
Crafting Ingredient
A piece of sugarcane can be crafted into one Sugar.
Use 3 pieces across the Crafting Table area to make three Paper.
