How to make a sugar cane farm in Minecraft

In Minecraft, sugar cane can only be planted on dirt or sand that’s located next to a water source. This is because you’ll only find sugar cane near water when exploring the world.

Here’s what you need to do to plant sugar cane in Minecraft:

  1. Collect sugar cane.
  2. Bring it to a location with dirt or sand that’s near water.
  3. Plant the sugar cane in the ground.
  4. Harvest most of the sugar cane except for the bottom block.

Sugar cane can be grown next to sources of water in Minecraft.

If you leave the bottom block alone, more sugar cane will grow on your farm. We recommend growing this item in a well-lit area so that it gets plenty of sunshine to grow. Planting multiple sugar cane crops around one tile of water is the best way to go.

If the area does not have sufficient water, you can simply dig a big enough hole or trench before filling it. Sponges are a great way to bring water to your farm as they can absorb the water from a source and then add it to your preferred location.
