[Feature]: Alternative way(s) of getting paper and/or sugar cane in very early-game.

Suggestion

With the current world gen, sometimes sugar cane can just kinda not spawn for hundreds upon hundreds of blocks, more if you're unlucky. On normal mode, this is a non-issue because you can just "buy" them with monipennies, but on other difficulties, this is definitely a problem.

A book > paper recipe wouldn't be helpful here, so instead, perhaps allow us to make paper very inefficiently by crafting using tools and logs or something? Failing that, adjusting world gen to make sugar cane spawn more often in most applicable biomes could help, or letting us harvest "cane seeds" from grass, or some other similar concept. Any process that's simple and is basically useless after early-game to prevent scenarios like this.

~im pretty sure you can make paper with wood pulp~

you need a machine for that which isnt really useful, so i'd agree with your assesment. and while we're at it do a similar thing to rubber trees too, which are required to progress in hardmode, and to my knowledge dont even spawn inside of the cities, but in other overworld biomes
