How to get Sugar in Minecraft

Sugar is an essential ingredient in a few Minecraft foods and in potions. There are numerous ways to get sugar and this blog post will highlight all of them.

Method 1 (Crafting)

1. Locate sugarcane (You can find it growing by water in any biome).

2. Place the sugarcane into a crafting grid or table and it will craft into sugar.

Method 2 (also Crafting)

1. Use a bottle to collect honey from a beehive (the beehive needs to have honey, meaning that pollinated bees have to have gone into it).

Method 3 (Mob Drops)

1. Find a witch (you can either do this in the night or find one in a cave).
