Paper

Paper is an item crafted from Sugar Cane. Paper is currently (as of Beta 1.8.1) used to make books which are used to craft bookshelves and to make maps. Paper can naturally occur in chests, inside strongholds. Adding functionality to books in the form of writing in them (similarly to signs) remains a popular request; however, several mods exist to serve this purpose.

History
Paper was added to Minecraft in its Alpha state in the Seecret Friday 6 (v1.0.11) patch, and is used the same way in Beta.

Paper cannot be written on as of Minecraft Release 1.0.0.

Trivia

 * Although in real life most paper is produced from wood pulp, paper can be made from sugar cane bagasse.
