Red sandstone is a variant of sandstone. It comes in three other variants: cut red sandstone, chiseled red sandstone, and smooth red sandstone.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

The suitable tool to break red sandstone is pickaxe. Red sandstone needs to be broken using a pickaxe, otherwise the breaking time will increase and the block drops nothing.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

👁 Image

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

Red sandstone replaces red sand in badlands when generated floating, most commonly in noise cave entrances and rarely in floating platforms below structures that overlap with badlands.
