Template:Infobox block Red sand is a variant of Minecraft:sand found exclusively in badlands biomes. It can be used in place of sand in many crafting recipes, with the exception of concrete powder.
Obtaining
Breaking
The suitable tool to break red sand is Minecraft:shovel. Script error: No such module "breaking row". Red sand drops itself when it's destroyed.
Natural generation
Red sand generates naturally in Badlands biomes and variants, always in a single layer. Unlike sand, there is no red sandstone that supports it below.
- REDIRECT Template:Block distribution
Mob loot
An Minecraft:enderman holding a red sand block drops the block upon death.
in Template:Editions, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 4 red sand when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an Minecraft:emerald.
Trading
Wandering traders may sell 4 red sand for 1 Minecraft:emerald. This is the only renewable method of obtaining red sand. Due to its low spawning rate and limited number of trades per spawn, it is more practical to obtain it through other means. Template:Trade sources
Usage
{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote
If the supporting block below a block of red sand is removed, it falls until it lands on the next available block. More specifically, the red sand block turns into a "falling block" entity, which is affected by gravity; when the falling block lands on a block with a solid top surface, it becomes a block again. More information about the falling block entity is available in the main article listed above.
If falling red sand lands and covers the head of a Minecraft:mob or the player, the mob or player buried in it continuously receives suffocation damage. If falling red sand lands in the space occupied by a non-solid block (such as Minecraft:torch, Minecraft:rail, or redstone dust) or a block less than a full block tall (such as Minecraft:slab or soul sand<ref>Template:Bug</ref>), the red sand drops and turns into an item. If it falls onto a Minecraft:cobweb, it falls slowly until it has gone through completely; if it touches the ground while still inside the cobweb, the red sand becomes an item. Red sand that falls onto a lifting bubble column floats on top of the water until the bubble column is blocked or removed.
Though Minecraft:TNT does not break any blocks if it explodes underwater, if Minecraft:sand (including red sand), concrete powder (in one-block-deep water only), or Minecraft:gravel falls and covers the TNT before it explodes, blocks are broken as normal. This trick can be used to collect blocks underwater, or break into underwater structures such as the ocean monument without mining.
Crafting ingredient
Smelting ingredient
Farms
Minecraft:Cactus can only be placed on red sand or Minecraft:sand, and can also be used for farming Minecraft:bamboo, sugar cane and Minecraft:kelp.
Turtle eggs
A turtle egg can hatch on red sand, but not any other non-sand block.
Note blocks
Red sand can be placed under note blocks to produce "snare drum" sound.
Ambience
Red sand rarely emits ambient noises if there is Minecraft:sand or red sand 8 blocks away in at least 3 of the 4 horizontal directions. In order to emit sounds, the block directly above red sand must be Minecraft:air.
