Sugar is a crafting ingredient obtained by crafting Sugar cane or by killing witches, which have a chance to drop it upon death. It is primarily used in food recipes, potion brewing, and crafting fireworks.

Sugar is a key ingredient in cake and pumpkin pie, making it essential for food production. It is also used in brewing to create Potions of Swiftness, which increase movement speed, and Potions of Weakness, which are required for curing zombie villagers.

Due to its multiple uses in food, potions, and trading, Sugar is a valuable resource in both survival and automation, commonly produced in Sugar cane farms for large-scale crafting.
