How to Get Paper in Minecraft
Obtaining Paper is easy, although it can take some time to get the resources for a steady supply. This guide explains how to get Paper by crafting and other ways in which you could get Paper in your Survival world. At the bottom of the guide, we’ve provided the code and item data for players in Creative Mode.
Crafting
To craft Paper,you’ll first need to find its resource: Sugar Cane. This resource can be found on the edge of rivers and oceans. It is only able to be placed and generated on blocks directly adjacent to water sources blocks.
Once you’ve found the Sugar Cane, bring it to a Crafting Table. Place three of them in a row (it doesn’t matter which one), and it will produce three pieces of Paper!
Note:If you don’t have much Sugar Cane but want a steady supply of Paper, we recommend growing multiple blocks of Sugar Cane across the edge of the water.
