How to make Paper in Minecraft?

To make paper, you first need to make a crafting table. 

This guide explains more about how to make a crafting table.

After you have made your crafting table, the next step is finding some sugar cane. To make one piece of paper, you need 3 sugar cane.

Sugar cane can be found anywhere around your Minecraft world as long as it is next to water. Sugar cane only grows beside lakes, rivers, and oceans in the game, as it needs a water source next to it.

It is best to collect the sugar cane you find and then proceed to make a sugar cane farm from there, for ease and accessibility later. 

This block grows incredibly quick and can grow up to 4 blocks tall, so collecting enough for any project will not be too difficult.

Once you have collected enough sugar cane, you can place down your crafting table to make the paper.

First, open the crafting table GUI.

Next, place three pieces of sugar cane along the length of one of the rows in the table. 

This will make the paper you need. Paper is made in threes, meaning that with the first craft you will get 3 pieces of paper to use, which is enough for a single book.
