Sand

Sand is a gravity-affected block found abundantly in deserts and beaches, and less commonly in or near surface water.

Obtaining

Breaking

Sand can be broken without tools, but a shovel is the fastest method of obtaining it.

Natural generation

Sand generates naturally in many biomes of the Overworld, in disk-like formations near ponds and rivers. It generates in abundance in deserts and beaches, generally in four-block-deep layers, supported by sandstone below. Sand also generates as the ocean floor of lukewarm oceans, deep lukewarm oceans and warm oceans, in a single layer not supported by sandstone. It usually generates in quantities of 545 blocks per chunk on average in non-desert biomes.

Sand is also used to cover up buried treasure chests depending on where the chest generates in. (In this case, sand is used to cover up buried treasure chests that generate in beaches and ocean floors that are composed of sand, but in some cases stone or sandstone might be used instead).

Sand also generates as part of warm ocean ruins and some cold ocean ruins, some desert village houses, desert wells, desert pyramids and have a chance to generate in trial chamber entrances.

Sand can spawn floating in the air. The floating cluster of sand falls when one of the sand blocks receives an update (e.g. when a block is placed near it or when a block near it is broken).

Mob loot

An enderman holding a sand block drops the block upon death.

Generated loot

Item	Structure	Container	Quantity	Chance
Java Edition and Bedrock Edition
	Desert Pyramid	Chest	1–8	59% { "item": "Sand", "stacksize": "1–8", "chance": 0.5904, "structure": "Desert Pyramid", "container": "Chest" }

Trading

Wandering traders sell eight sand for one emerald. This is the only renewable method of obtaining sand. Because new wandering traders require at least 20 minutes to spawn and have a limited number of trades per spawn, it is more practical to obtain sand by other means.

Post-generation

Suspicious sand becomes regular sand when brushed.

Usage

If the supporting block below a block of sand is removed, it falls until it lands on the next available block. More specifically, the sand block turns into a "falling block" entity, which is affected by gravity; when the falling block lands on a block with a solid top surface, it becomes a block again. More information about the falling block entity is available in the main article listed above.

If falling sand lands and covers the head of a mob or the player, the mob or player buried in it continuously receives suffocation damage. If falling sand lands in the space occupied by a non-solid block (such as torch, rail, or redstone dust) or a block less than a full block tall (such as slab or soul sand^[1]), the sand drops and turns into an item. If it falls onto a cobweb, it falls slowly until it has gone through completely; if it touches the ground while still inside the cobweb, the sand becomes an item. Sand that falls onto a lifting bubble column floats on top of the water until the bubble column is blocked or removed.

Though TNT does not break any blocks if it explodes underwater, if sand, concrete powder (in one-block-deep water only), or gravel falls and covers the TNT before it explodes, blocks are broken as normal. This trick can be used to collect blocks underwater, or break into underwater structures such as the ocean monument without mining.

Construction

Sand can be used in the construction of airlocks and mob suffocation traps. Because sand falls, it can also be used for construction underwater while the player remains above the surface of the water.

Farms

Sand is required for farming cactus and can also be used for farming bamboo, sugar cane, and kelp.

Turtle eggs

A turtle egg can hatch only if it is placed on sand, red sand, or suspicious sand.

Note Blocks

Sand can be placed under note blocks to produce "snare drum" sound.

Ambience

Sand emits sandy ambient noises independent of the current biome if there is a sand, red sand, terracotta, or stained terracotta block 8 blocks away in 3 of the 4 horizontal directions. The central sand block must have access to the sky (i.e., should not be covered by any opaque or light-filtering block). The 3 other required blocks can be placed at different Y levels from the central block but must be located on the world surface (i.e., must not have any non-air blocks above them).

Additional windy ambient sounds play if the sand block is located in a desert, badlands, wooded badlands, or eroded badlands biome, provided it still meets the conditions described above.

If all the conditions for the respective ambient sounds are met, on each tick a sand block has an ¹⁄₁₆₀₀ chance to play a sandy noise and an ¹⁄₁₀₀₀₀ chance to play a windy sound.

History

Java Edition Classic
May 21, 2009							Notch shows interest in adding sand.
May 23, 2009							Notch says he accomplished adding sand.
0.0.14a							Added sand.
							Sand behaves similarly to gravel, which was also added during this update.
							Sand blocks appear naturally only in one block-thick beaches (usually by water or in the middle of a landscape). These beaches are always at and below ocean level.
							Rather than falling by turning into a falling block entity, sand instantly appears at the lowest point it can go when placed above an air block, without any sort of falling animation. This behavior lasted until the Seecret Friday 1 update, in Infdev.
							Map editors can be used to create floating sand, crashing the server if the sand was affected from its state.
0.0.15a							The texture of sand has been changed.
0.0.19a							Sand has been removed from the inventory (hotbar) because of a lack of space.
0.0.20a							Sand has been re-added to the inventory.
0.0.23a							A glitch occurring at this time allows players to raise the height of a fluid block by placing sand over it. The sand stays suspended in mid-air until it is broken. When broken, a fluid block corresponding to the type below the sand appears where the block was. The suspended fluid block remains immobile until a block was placed next to it, causing a flood.
0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST							The glitch from above was fixed.
							Sand now falls through liquids instead of sitting atop them.

Issues

Issues relating to "Sand" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

• If a block of sand has snow on it and is made to fall, the snow is destroyed‌ and does not drop snowballs.
• Because falling sand is considered an entity, it can be launched in a TNT cannon, similar to an ignited piece of TNT.
• Sand falls at the same rate when submerged in water, or lava, or air.
• If a player is standing on a stack of sand or gravel, and the stack falls onto a non-solid block, the player can fall fast enough to take damage or even die.
• Sand falls through torches without breaking, if there is air below the torch.^[3]
• Sand and gravel take about 0.45 seconds to fall one meter.
• The sand texture is rotated if a block of sand turns into a falling_block entity, similar to ignited TNT blocks. This is not the case with gravel.
• Because falling_block is considered an entity, blocks of sand without supports may disappear for a split second and a falling_block entity is summoned. This is also the case when it is landing, but the entity (not the block) disappears instead before a block is placed.
