There are two things a player can turn Minecraft sugar cane into in order to further use it in the game. Those two things are sugar and paper.

Paper can be used with leather to craft books or traded out with a village librarian for emeralds. Using a cartography table, a piece of paper becomes a small map. The more pieces of paper players add to the map, the bigger the map will be. Throwing in a compass will turn a players' map into a locator map.

Sugar can be used as an ingredient for both potions and pastries. You can also craft all sorts of sweets on a crafting table. Take it and other ingredients to make food such as cake, pie, or cookies. Several different potions require sugar. Taking it to a brewing stand, sugar can be used to make potions of slowness, slowness extended, swiftness, and many more.
