Quick Steps to Craft a Book
To craft a book in Minecraft, you’ll need 3 pieces of paper and 1 leather. First, gather sugarcane to make paper. You can find sugarcane by water in both the overworld and the nether. Next, turn your sugarcane into paper at a crafting table with 3 pieces of sugarcane.
For the leather, you’ll need to hunt some cows. Once you have your leather and paper, place them in the crafting table: the leather in one slot and the 3 papers in the remaining slots. And voila! You’ve crafted a book.
Why Crafting a Book in Minecraft is Cool
