Sugar Cane

Sugarcane (aka reeds or bamboo) is a block in Minecraft used to make sugar and paper. They can only grow near water.

As a crafting ingredient
= 1 Sugar = 3 Paper

Uses
Sugar Cane is used to make sugar and paper. It is also used to make underwater air plugs, since it can grow underwater, and makes an air pocket if it is 2 blocks tall.

Growth
Sugar Cane needs 1 block of water be adjacent to it, meaning that sugar cane can only be planted 1 block horizontal from water. If there is no water, the sugar cane pops out of the ground, dropping as an item. It can only be placed on grass, dirt or sand.
