Paper

Paper was added to Alpha in the Seecret Friday 6 (v1.0.11) patch, and is used the same way in Beta. Paper can be 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.
