A Minecraft enthusiast successfully recreated the process of making paper from real sugarcane, which involved boiling the sugarcane, breaking down its fibers, and using a log and tree stump as a pestle and mortar to form pulp. They then created a mold and deckle, incorporating cornflour into the mixture, resulting in a fragile, brown sheet of paper. This experience has inspired thoughts of replicating other Minecraft recipes in real life.
