You know Birch trees, right? How they've got papery bark?
Well, instead of only getting paper from sugar cane only, every six or seven blocks of birch blocks you chop, you should be able to obtain one or two pieces of paper.
That's an interesting idea. Birch bark was used in some cultures for paper. On the other hand, I'm a little torn on this (pun unintended) since on the one hand birch trees give less wood than other types, which argues for an added drop, but on the other hand that lesser amount of wood also makes them easier to harvest, and thus ideal for farming...which argues against making them any more useful. Ultimately, I think it would be nice if there were, either with a recipe or a work station, a way to make paper from logs, as modern papers are wood derivatives.

Agreed 100% with him about the work station idea, but the cutting down and obtaining randomly would kind of be a thing that makes the game easier than is should be. Other than that excellent idea that's how great idea's start!
I think it should be a rare drop because in real life (and ive tried this) when you tare a piece off a birch tree it just shrivels away but some rare times you get a good enough piece to write on.
All of you have given me good input. I realized that this could be abused by just placing down the birch logs and mining it again. The crafting recipe is a good idea, but how many pieces of paper would you get from one log? Or maybe you only get the drops of paper from birch tree that have spawned on the map or grown from a sapling, So then the game would check if you placed down the birch logs. If you did there would no chance of receiving paper

Let me know what you think.
