	'''Soul sand''' is a block found primarily in [[Minecraft:the Nether]] that slows down [[Minecraft:entities]] walking on it unless they are wearing [[Minecraft:Soul Speed]] boots. It can also be used to grow [[Minecraft:Nether wart]], create [[Minecraft:soul fire]], make upward [[Minecraft:bubble column]]s, and spawn [[Minecraft:withers]]. It appears to have souls in the block, ~~where~~ can be freed by running on them with Soul Speed boots (although this is a cosmetic particle effect).

	Soul sand is made up of unknown [[Minecraft:souls]]. Running on it with the Soul Speed boots can free the souls as a cosmetic particle. Soul fire is fueled by souls. Putting soul sand in a sulfur cube reveals that it is actually a heavy block.

Travel by boat is also slowed, although this requires water no more than 2/8 a block in depth for the boat to sit low enough to be affected. Furthermore, it does not matter whether the player or mob moves actively or is being moved, like by flowing water.
