Sand layers are a retexture of snow used for testing the game's lighting engine that were accidentally shown in the background of a picture featuring camels.

History

[edit | edit source]

On August 2, 2023, Jacek WoΕ‚kowicz posted an image to social media, joking that the changelog for Java Edition 23w31a "missed camel tables." Behind the "table" was a series of sand layers.[1]

Following the release of the post, many believed it was a teaser for a new feature, leading to an explicit deconfirmation and explanation.

For those that get hyped up from my previous post - its my bad. I just, by accident, was using the same world for fixing camel standing up into block and to test light effect on retextured snow layers with high random tick speed. Nothing more than that...

    "We often test at Mojang random ideas ourselves, like how sand layers would look like in the desert, and these stay in our test worlds. Definitely, don't get attached to these. I should have double checked what I have in the background before posting :(" – @gnembon_mc on X (formerly Twitter), August 2, 2023
