Am I the only one who thinks that, for its limited uses, sugar cane is way too freaking easy to farm? It's like you find some and a few days later you have enough to cover your entire coastline plus a few substantially sized farms.
Wouldn't it be great if, instead of wasting it all on cakes and a few dozen bookshelves, there were something that would actually use up a substantial amount of sugar?
What I am proposing is for sugar.
In other words, if [] is sugar (not sugar cane, note), the recipe for a sugar cube (or sugar block if you don't want to be cute with the name) would be...
[] [] []
[] [] []
[] [] []
Then you could build stuff out of sugar. Heck, since it's a carbohydrate, it'd burn for a while too, possibly longer than logs. This could actually be useful as well as decorative, if you like farming more than nether-mining.
Or maybe if things like ants are eventually added, they'd be especially attracted to sugar blocks, giving you a distraction to take them out individually instead of having them swarm you.
