Minecraft:Sandstone

Template:Infobox block Sandstone is a solid Minecraft:block related to Minecraft:sand that comes in two color variants, the other being Minecraft:red sandstone. Regular sandstone is commonly found in Minecraft:deserts and Minecraft:beaches. Sandstone also has three decorative variants: Minecraft:chiseled sandstone, Minecraft:cut sandstone, and Minecraft:smooth sandstone.

Obtaining

Breaking

Sandstone can be mined with any Minecraft:pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Regular sandstone generates in Minecraft:deserts and Minecraft:beaches compressed underneath several blocks of Minecraft:sand. It generates at noise cave entrances in desert and beach biomes.

Many Minecraft:structures that generate in deserts are made of sandstone. Minecraft:Desert wells are made of normal sandstone, and desert Minecraft:villages, Minecraft:desert pyramids, and warm Minecraft:ocean ruins are made greatly of sandstone. All the aforementioned structures use sandstone Minecraft:blocks, Minecraft:slabs, Minecraft:stairs, and Minecraft:walls.

Usage

Unlike Minecraft:sand, sandstone is never affected by Minecraft:gravity.

Note blocks

Sandstone can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft:Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb sandstone, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
