FAQ

What tool do I need to break Sugar Cane?

None. Any tool, or even bare hands, breaks it instantly with no tool requirement.

Why did my Sugar Cane fall over and disappear?

Sugar Cane needs an adjacent water source to keep growing; if the water or the block it stands on is removed, the stalk breaks and drops as items.

Can Sugar Cane be used in a composter?

Yes, it has roughly a 50% chance to raise the compost level each time it is added.

How tall does Sugar Cane grow?

Up to three blocks tall when naturally grown or player-placed, though it can generate slightly taller in rare world-gen cases.
