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

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

Sandstone can be mined with any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

  1. ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking Β§ Speed.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

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

Sandstone can also generate as part of desert wells, desert villages, desert pyramids, and warm ocean ruins.
