Sugar

Sugar is a food item derived from sugar cane. Sugar is a necessary component in the cake crafting recipe. Since sugar cane is hard to find in some biomes, this makes the cake harder to craft. Sugar cane farming makes it easier to craft the cake. Neither sugar nor sugar cane can be eaten by themselves. Besides crafting, sugar is also used in brewing to make potions with speed effects.

History
Sugar was introduced in Beta 1.2 as an ingredient for Cake. Sugar's uses were extended in the Beta 1.9 Pre-Release 2 update, which added the Fermented Spider Eye crafted with a combination of Sugar, Brown Mushroom and Spider Eye. In the Beta 1.9 pre-release 3 update the Brewing Stand was added along with the ability to craft a Potion of Swiftness from Sugar and an Awkward Potion. and Its also good to Make Food So you wont die such as Cake As said above.

Trivia

 * Sugar used to be oddly large from third person or other players view in multiplayer. It also appeared to be held from a different angle than other powder-like items such as Gunpowder and Redstone Dust. This was due to a programming error fixed as of 1.0.0, which specified that sugar should be wielded as a "tool" in third person. This error is shared with Eye of Ender.
 * One of the splash texts on the title screen is "0 % sugar!".
