Sugar cane | Sugar cane generates in patches next to water, as columns two (11/18 chance), three (5/18) or four (2/18) blocks tall. A patch attempt places up to 20 columns within 4 blocks horizontally of a single point, all at the same height. A column is placed only where the block is air, the block below can support sugar cane (all types of [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:sand]], [[Minecraft:Moss Block|moss]] and [[Minecraft:mud]]), and at least one of the four blocks horizontally adjacent to that supporting block is [[Minecraft:water]]. | ||

Template:For Template:Infobox block Sugar cane is a Minecraft:plant that can only be Template:Ctrl on plantable Minecraft:blocks adjacent to Minecraft:water. It grows up to three blocks tall over time, but will instead uproot itself if its water is removed. Sugar cane can be Minecraft:crafted into Minecraft:sugar and Minecraft:paper.
Obtaining
Breaking
Sugar cane can be mined instantly with anything.
When the spot a sugar cane block is placed in becomes unsuitable, such as when the supporting block is removed, the sugar cane block uproots and drops as an item. When all adjacent water is removed, sugar cane uproots on the next block update or Minecraft:random tick.
A sugar cane block drops itself as an item if a piston tries to push it (trying to pull it does nothing) or moves a block into its space. Template:Breaking row
Natural generation
Sugar cane generates in patches next to water, as columns two (11/18 chance), three (5/18) or four (2/18) blocks tall. A patch attempt places up to 20 columns within 4 blocks horizontally of a single point, all at the same height. A column is placed only where the block is air, the block below can support sugar cane (all types of Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:sand, moss and Minecraft:mud), and at least one of the four blocks horizontally adjacent to that supporting block is Minecraft:water.
How often a patch is attempted depends on the Minecraft:biome:
| biomes | frequency |
|---|---|
| Minecraft:desert | every chunk |
| Minecraft:swamp | 1 chunk in 3 |
| Minecraft:badlands, eroded badlands, wooded badlands | 1 chunk in 5 |
| most other biomes | 1 chunk in 6 |
It does not generate in every Overworld Minecraft:biome. It is absent from cherry grove, Minecraft:meadow, Minecraft:grove, snowy slopes, frozen peaks, jagged peaks, stony peaks, mangrove swamp, and the Minecraft:cave biomes.
The placement point is pinned to the surface, so sugar cane cannot generate underground or in caves<ref>Template:Bug</ref>, and a patch cannot be placed on top of an existing one. Naturally generated sugar cane taller than 4 blocks is therefore impossible.Template:Block distribution
Trading
Minecraft:Wandering traders may sell sugar cane for 1 Minecraft:emerald. Template:Trade sources
Mob loot
Template:IN, Minecraft:wandering traders have a chance of 25% (increased by 1% per level of Minecraft:Looting) to drop 1 sugar cane when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an Minecraft:emerald.
Usage
Sugar cane may be placed only on Minecraft:grass blocks, Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:coarse dirt, Minecraft:rooted dirt, Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mycelium, Minecraft:sand, Minecraft:red sand, Minecraft:suspicious sand, Minecraft:moss blocks, Minecraft:pale moss blocks, Minecraft:mud, or Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots that are directly adjacent to Minecraft:water, a Minecraft:waterlogged block, or Minecraft:frosted ice (not merely above or diagonal to water), or on top of another sugar cane block. The adjacent water block can be covered with another block, whether opaque or transparent, and sugar cane can still be placed and grow next to it.
Farming
Sugar cane can generate naturally up to any number of blocks tall, but grow only to a height of three blocks, adding a block of height when the top sugar cane block has received 16 Minecraft:random ticks (i.e. on average every 18 minutes on Java Edition or 54 minutes on Bedrock Edition, but the actual rate can vary widely). Sugar cane grows regardless of light level, even in complete darkness.
Template:IN, a single application of Minecraft:bone meal grows sugar cane to three blocks. Template:IN, bone meal cannot be used on sugar cane.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Crafting ingredient
Composting
Placing sugar cane into a Minecraft:composter has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
Piston interactivity
Sugar cane is destroyed when a piston tries to push it. It can not be pulled by pistons.
Color
The coloration of sugar cane is dependent on the Minecraft:biome they are in. A block always uses the color set to its location, regardless of how it was placed or of its source.
These values are generated by the biome dyeing algorithm, which depends on the biome's temperature and downfall. See Minecraft:biome colors for more information.

Trivia
- When a sugar cane is broken at the second level, the time resets (for example, if a two-block high sugar cane is broken, but is just about to grow to the third stage, it would reset that time).
- By placing more sugar canes on top of a sugar cane plant, it is possible to create tall sugar canes (up to the maximum building height), although they do not naturally grow this high.
- Before sugar cane received an official name, they were sometimes referred to as Minecraft:bamboo, a block added 9 years later. Other names were "reeds" and "papyrus", the former of which being both the original in-game name and internal name.
- Due to its water-displacing properties, sugar cane can interestingly be used to create underwater paths, allowing Minecraft:players to move at normal speed and breathe if it is two blocks in height.Template:Only<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
