About Sugar
Sugar is a lightweight brewing and cooking ingredient rather than a food you eat. You will mostly use it in recipes like cake and pumpkin pie, or for brewing a Potion of Swiftness. It also goes into making fermented spider eyes.
Key facts:
- Stacks up to 64.
- Used as a recipe ingredient, not consumed directly.
- One of the key items for brewing speed potions.
It has no effect when held or eaten, so it only matters when combined with other ingredients.
How to get Sugar
The simplest way to get sugar is to craft it from sugar cane, which grows near water. One sugar cane produces one sugar, with no smelting needed. You can also craft a honey bottle into three sugar. Rarely, witches drop sugar when defeated, but farming sugar cane is the reliable method.
