Reeds

Reeds are a new type of plant. They can be found in places that are not too cold or too dry. Reeds only grow in water that is 1-2 blocks deep. They will continue growing in the water until they are either snipped by shears or reach the surface. Once at the surface, they will grow an addition 1-2 blocks high. Any boats, players, or mobs trying to go through reeds will be slowed down. Reeds will be able to be crafted into straw. Straw can be then crafted into paper, straw blocks, straw carpets (or trap doors and doors), and straw boats.
