Sometimescalled reeds, papyrus, or bamboo, sugar cane
is an item, and an important crafting ingredient, that can grow on grass, dirt,
and sand blocks that are directly
adjacent to water on at least one horizontal side.
Sugarcane is a cash crop but it is also used as a livestock
fodder. Sugarcane is the source of
sugar in all tropical and subtropical
countries of the world. The main product of sugarcane is sucrose, which accumulates in the stalk internodes.
Sucrose, extracted and purified in
specialized mill factories is used as raw material in human food industries or
is fermented to produce ethanol. Sugar cane is said to be the world’s largest
crop.
Other than sugar, products derived from sugarcane include
falernum molasses, rum, cachaca (a traditional spirit from Brazil), and
ethanol.
