Sugar Cane Rows

A 12 by 15 sugar cane field where every sand block touches water, giving 120 planting spots.

Sugar cane must be planted on sand or dirt directly next to water. This field alternates sand, water, sand across four water channels, so all 120 sand blocks qualify. Use it for paper, books and trading.

How to build the Sugar Cane Rows

  1. 1

    Border

    Lay a 14 by 17 ring of stone bricks to hold the water in.

  2. 2

    Channels

    Inside, dig four channels running the full length, with two rows of sand between channels and one row at each edge.

  3. 3

    Fill

    Fill each channel with water. Pour a bucket at both ends of a channel and the middle fills in as source blocks.

  4. 4

    Plant and light

    Plant sugar cane on every sand block and put lanterns on the border corners and midpoints.

Builder tips

  • Harvest by breaking the second block so the bottom keeps growing.
  • Sugar cane grows to three blocks tall.
  • Dirt or grass works in place of sand.
