Greetings.
I am a man in a suit who has fallen into the world of Minecraft.
Last time, I rebuilt the temporary lookout in the castle town as a watchtower.
This time, I am building a workshop where a villager can work with maps.
First, I need to find some sugar cane for making paper.
Finding sugar cane beside a river
As I follow a river away from the castle town, I begin to see green sugar cane growing along the bank.
This is exactly the material I need!
I move closer to the sugar cane at the water’s edge and gather some for making paper.
Back in the castle town, I choose a stone-paved area near the villagers’ lodging as the site for the workshop.
Villagers often pass through this area, so it seems like a useful place for a new workplace.
Making paper and building the workshop
When I place three pieces of sugar cane in a row on the crafting table, they make three pieces of paper.
With the paper ready, it is time to build the workshop.
I use tuff bricks for the walls, glass panes for the windows, and stone brick slabs for the roof.
It is a small building, but the castle town now gains another stone workplace.
Inside, I place a cartography table and hang two lanterns from the ceiling.
Light also comes through the windows, giving the room the right atmosphere for spreading out maps.
Trading with the cartographer and starting a sugar cane plot
I wait for a villager to use the cartography table… and he becomes a cartographer!
When I look at his trades, the novice cartographer is willing to buy paper.
This time, I hand over 24 paper and receive one emerald.
My first trade with the cartographer is complete!
To make more paper in the future, I plant sugar cane beside one of the castle town waterways.
It is still a small plot, but once the sugar cane grows, I should be able to turn it into paper and continue trading little by little.
To finish, I stand beside the cartographer at the workshop entrance, holding the emerald from our first trade for a commemorative picture.
The castle town gains a new workplace and a cartographer, bringing me one step closer to making use of maps.
That is all for this time.
Greetings.
