What Goes Into Creating Pulped Paper?

Pulped paper doesn’t grow on trees—you craft it from recycled materials. Here’s what you need:

Materials to Make Pulped Paper:

• Recycled Paper – the key ingredient. Grab this from old book pages, sheets, towels, or worn-out books.
  
• Water Bucket – necessary to pulp the paper (you’ll see this step in-game).
  
• Crafting Table – to store and prepare the paper.

Step-by-Step Pulping Process:

1. Collect Recycled Paper – search for books, sheets, or use a water bucket to turn worn paper into pulp. Simply lay paper in a pile, then right-click to spawn Pulped Paper from the watery pulping system (in the game, pulping happens when you interact with water on recycled paper).
   
2. Assemble 3 Pulped Paper – once you’ve got your pulp, place 3 of them in crafting form to make Paper.
