'''Paper''' is an item crafted from [[Minecraft:sugar cane]], required for crafting [[Minecraft:book]]s, [[Minecraft:map]]s, [[Minecraft:cartography table]]s, [[Minecraft:firework rocket]]s and [[Minecraft:banner pattern]]s.

=== Villager gifts ===
{{IN|Java}}, cartographer [[Minecraft:villager]]s may give paper to [[Minecraft:player]]s with the [[Minecraft:Hero of the Village]] effect.

== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Cartography table usage ===
Paper can be used to zoom out a [[Minecraft:map]] by one level in a [[Minecraft:cartography table]]. This method of zooming out map is 8 times more efficient than using a [[Minecraft:crafting table]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, it can also be used to create an empty map or an empty locator map. This is also cheaper than the equivalent crafting recipes.
