Required Materials to make Paper

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft paper:

3 Sugar Canes

How to craft Paper in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make Paper

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make paper, place 3 sugar canes in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making paper, it is important that the sugar canes are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the second row, there should be 3 sugar canes. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for paper.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the 3 papers will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Paper to Inventory

Once you have crafted papers, you need to move the new items to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made paper in Minecraft!
