Many items in the Minecraft world have a special value, which is not always known to the average player. Something goes immediately to use, and something - to craft other, more useful and valuable things. Sugarcane blocks can serve as an example of the second category - it is it that is the ingredient for the preparation of such valuable resources as paper and sugar. How to make these useful items in Minecraft? We talk about this in today's article.
general information
Reed can be collected from earthen, grass and sand blocks that are located near the water. Usually it grows up to three blocks in height, but can reach five, provided that it was generated during the creation of the map. Sometimes sugarcane is also found in cold biomes.
If you remove the lower block of the plant, then the upper ones crumble (like cacti). Some players act as follows: they destroy only the upper blocks and do not touch those that are below - so the reed will continue to grow in the same place.
Sugarcane blocks do not allow water and lava to pass through them. This useful property turns reed into a convenient material for the construction of water gates.
How to grow a reed, or your own reed farm
The process of growing this plant is similar to the process of planting seeds. Sugarcane seedlings are placed on earthen, grass or sand blocks that are in horizontal contact with the water surface. Soil before planting may be uncultivated.
Sugarcane growth is slow, the maximum height of an adult plant reaches three blocks. You can take advantage of the trick with the lower block and harvest only from the upper ones - this way we will get a real reed farm.
How to make sugar at Minecraft?
Sugar is an important ingredient in the preparation of various foods and other interesting things. That is why many players want to know the answer to the question of how to make sugar at Minecraft.
To craft, we need a little reed. From one element, as a rule, 1 cube of sugar is obtained. Let's try to open a workbench and center three elements of sugarcane at once in the center. As a result, we get 3 sugars, which can now be used for other purposes. It is in such a simple way that this resource is produced. Cane is in the category of renewable materials, so making sugar at Minecraft (as described above) is easy and not very expensive in terms of resources.
Further use of sugar
So, we have prepared a lot of sugar and now we don’t know where to put it. What can be done in Minecraft from sugar? Of course, cook food! This resource is one of the main ingredients in cake and pumpkin pie recipes. In addition, sugar will work as a treat for the horse.
Another area of craft where you can use this material is potions. Minecraft prepares a spider eye for sugar, which is used in the manufacture of some healthy potions. In addition, Pure Sugar can make an Unremarkable Potion and Acceleration Potion.
