Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox block Sugar cane is a plant block that generates near water. It is used to craft Minecraft:sugar and Minecraft:paper, making it an essential resource for making Minecraft:books, Minecraft:maps, and firework rockets.

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 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.

Natural generation

File:Sugar Canez.png

Naturally-occurring sugar cane near a river.

Sugar cane can generate naturally near Minecraft:water and Minecraft:ice, as two (Template:Frac chance), three (Template:Frac chance), or four (Template:Frac chance) blocks tall. Rare taller sugar canes can be found if the world generator places two smaller canes on top of each other. It generates in approximately 0.8 sugar cane per chunk seeing as how they only generate near bodies of water.

Sugar canes attempt to generate 10 times in any Overworld biome<ref>All Overworld biomes except

3. REDIRECT Template:BiomeLink,
4. REDIRECT Template:BiomeLink,
5. REDIRECT Template:BiomeLink and
6. REDIRECT Template:BiomeLink in Template:Editions.</ref>, which requires water. An extra 10 attempts are made in swamp biomes, and 50 in desert biomes, which makes sugar cane twice as frequent in swamps and six times as frequent in desert biomes, making the banks of rivers that cut through deserts lined with sugar canes.

Sugar cane cannot generate in caves.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Trading

Wandering traders may sell sugar cane for 1 Minecraft:emerald. Template:Trade sources

Mob loot

in Template:Editions, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of 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 grass blocks, Minecraft:dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mycelium, Minecraft:sand, red sand, suspicious sand, moss blocks, pale moss blocks, Minecraft:mud, or muddy mangrove roots that are directly adjacent to Minecraft:water, a waterlogged block, or 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

An underground sugar cane farm.

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 random block 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.

File:4-block tall sugar cane.png

Naturally generated sugar cane ranging from 2 to 4 blocks tall.

in Template:Editions, a single application of bone meal grows sugar cane to three blocks. in Template:Editions, bone meal cannot be used on sugar cane.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

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 biome colors for more information.

History

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 players to move at normal speed and breathe if it is two blocks in height.Template:Only<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
