How to Make Paper in Minecraft?
To make paper in Minecraft you need to open the crafting menu and place three Sugar Canes in the top, middle, or bottom row. Sugar canes can be found near water bodies like rivers, lakes, and ocean biomes. Once you have three of them, place down your crafting table, access the crafting menu, and place these three sugarcanes exactly in any row (not columns) to get 3x Paper.
Once you make Minecraft a paper stack, move them to your inventory. With 3 x paper & 1 x leather, you can make a Book in Minecraft. From here you can craft a Book & Quill with 1 x book, 1 x ink sac, & 1x feather. With just 9 x paper you can make a Map and with 8 x paper & 1 x compass to make Locator Map. With paper, you can also customize Banner Patterns. There are seven patterns available in the Bedrock Edition and 6 in Java Edition. Here are Banner Pattern recipes for you:
| Name | Ingredients |
| Bordure Indented | Paper + Vines |
| Creeper | Paper + Creeper Head |
| Field Masoned | Paper + Bricks |
| Flower | Paper + Oxeye Daisy |
| Skull | Paper + Wither Skeleton Skull |
| Thing | Paper + Enchanted Golden Appl |

You can also get Paper in Minecraft as Chest loots. From Shipwreck’s Supply chests you have a 45%-50% and from Map chests, you have an almost 90% chance to get 1–10 paper. Library chests from Stronghold and Cartographer’s chest from Village will also give you paper. But if you don’t want to go out looking for these chests then crafting from sugar canes is the easiest way to make and get paper.
