| − | {{BlockSprite|sandstone}} '''Sandstone''' is a solid block. It is found naturally at the bottom of [[sand]] stacks, and can also be crafted from sand. <br>
| + | '''Sandstone''' is a solid block. It is found naturally below [[sand]] in [[desert]]s and [[beach]]es. <br> |
| | | | |
| − | {{BlockSprite|sandstone-creeper}} '''Chiseled Sandstone''' is a decorative form of sandstone with a [[Creeper]] face and various small carvings on it. It can be found naturally spawned in a [[Desert Temple|Desert Pyramid]] or a Desert well, or can be crafted from sandstone [[slabs]].<br>
| |
| | | | |
| − | {{BlockSprite|sandstone-smooth}} '''Smooth Sandstone''' is a decorative form of sandstone with a smoother texture. Like '''Chiseled Sandstone''', it is found in a Desert Pyramid or a Desert Well, but it is also found in [[NPC villages|Desert Villages]].
| + | == Obtaining == |
| | | | |
| − | All three forms can be produced without a [[crafting table]], except that Chiseled Sandstone is made from slabs, which do require the crafting table.
| + | Sandstone can be mined with a diamond or greater [[pickaxe]]. Mining sandstone with a lower quality pickaxe or by hand produces 16 [[Pile of Sand|piles of sand]]. |
| | | | |
| − | == Function and Behavior == | + | === Natural Generation === |
| | | | |
| − | Unlike [[sand]], sandstone is not affected by [[gravity]], and it will not fall if placed without a supporting [[block]] underneath it. It normally appears at the lowest levels of sandy areas ([[desert]] or [[beach]] [[biome]]s) and supports the sand above it, but if a [[Generated_structures#Lakes|lake]] is generated in that same volume, it may carve away the sandstone and result in volumes of unsupported sand which will collapse if disturbed. Sandstone's appearance makes it highly suitable for desert-themed architecture.
| + | Regular sandstone will generate in deserts and beaches, compressed below a few meters of sand blocks. This protects sand from falling into natural caves and ravines. |
| | | | |
| − | Placed sandstone can be harvested with any [[pickaxe]]. Breaking a sandstone block by hand destroys the block but drops nothing for the player to pick up; it takes slightly longer to mine it with bare hands than with a wooden [[pickaxe]]. Sandstone's [[explosion|blast resistance]] is similar to sand or [[Grass Block|grass block]], and is much less than that of [[wood]] or [[stone]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | However, sandstone can be crafted into slabs, which can then be stacked to fill a block, and these will be much more durable! Because all stone slabs are currently represented in the game by using different data values for a single block type, sandstone slabs behave like other [[stone slab]]s. This means they take longer to mine and have much greater blast resistance than the sandstone blocks from which they were made.
| + | Naturally-generated structures will also comprise normal sandstone if generated in a desert. The desert wells will be made of normal sandstone, villages made of normal and chiseled sandstone, and desert temples made of normal, smooth and chiseled sandstone. All of these will also be made partially of sandstone slabs and stairs. |
| | | | |
| − | Sandstone is the material used to generate a covered structure known as a [[Generated structures#Desert Wells|desert well]]. These appear occasionally in desert biomes. They are 5x5 blocks in size and have a 3x3 volume of water in the shape of a plus sign in the center. They may sometimes be useful for obtaining water (although deserts often tend to have lakes or oases in them anyway) and will provide an unlimited water source.
| + | == Usage == |
| | | | |
| − | If the player spawns in a [[Biomes#Desert|desert biome]] in a [[Survival (Game Mode)|survival mode game]], sandstone will be readily obtainable for the player to build a shelter with. Remember that it takes four blocks of sand to craft each block of sandstone.
| + | Unlike [[sand]], sandstone is not affected by gravity, and it will not fall if placed without a supporting block underneath it. |

| − | == Trivia ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Both Smooth Sandstone and Chiseled Sandstone can be used in all the same ways as sandstone, including making Smooth Sandstone, stairs, or [[slabs]] (and perhaps then Chiseled Sandstone). Crafting the decorative forms gives no loss nor gain of blocks. While it's not possible to convert any of these back to normal sandstone, two slabs can be stacked to give the same look.
| |
| − | * Sandstone is among the weakest blocks that cannot be harvested by hand, along with snow blocks and [[Netherrack]].
| |
| − | *Sandstone can be found underneath beaches in non-desert biomes.
| |
| − | *If you look carefully at a smooth sandstone you can notice the number "2" on it, formed incidentally by the variation of its pixels' colors.
| |
| − | * Smooth Sandstone acts as regular sandstone; you can put 4 smooth sandstone in a square and make 4 of itself in a crafting table.
| |
| − | * As mentioned above, since [[Slabs]] are treated as stone in terms of blast resistance, converting a stack of 63 Sandstone blocks into 126 Sandstone Slabs and then building using the slabs in pairs effectively provides the same appearance as using Sandstone blocks but with 7.5 times as much blast resistance.
| |
| − | *Sandstone has the cracked texture of [[Cobblestone]].
