Grow sugar cane in Minecraft - how it works

Grow sugar cane in Minecraft according to our instructions and wait for it to reach the maximum height of four blocks. You can then harvest it with one click.

• You can only grow sugar cane on soil, sand and grass. Only there does the plant continue to grow independently.
• So that you can place the sugar cane, there must be water next to the block. After all, you don't have to provide light - sugar cane also grows in the dark.
• Sugar cane can be harvested more quickly if you dismantle the bottom block - the rest will disintegrate and you can collect it.
• If you always leave the bottom block standing, the sugar cane will automatically grow again. The growth time for up to three pieces is about 15 minutes.
