- Buckets of Milk can be obtained by locating a cow, equipping an empty bucket, and right-clicking on the animal to milk it.
- To craft Sugar, you’ll need to collect some Sugar cane which is typically found near water. Then add it to the crafting table and you’ll have Sugar.

What is cake used for in Minecraft?
Cake has a few purposes in Minecraft, while the main one is as a food source – eating a whole cake will restore 14 Hunger Points – it can also be used as a decorative item that you can place in the kitchen or dining room of your house! Cake is nice to look at and it will be handy to have the food there if you find yourself needing something to eat.
Using a candle on an uneaten cake will place it on top of the block and this is particularly useful if you’re looking to celebrate someone’s birthday in the game!
You can also drop cake near a Panda and they will happily eat the whole thing! While there aren’t any huge benefits to doing this, it’s quite adorable so we’d recommend giving it a go next time you run some pandas during your sandbox adventure.
