Despite regular red sandstone having hardness and blast resistances of 0.8, smooth red sandstone has a blast resistance of 6 and hardness of 2. This is likely due to historical reasons, specifically as a result of hardness being inherited from slab blocks,[1] however the "correct"/"expected" values were changed to the "incorrect" values in Bedrock Edition.[2]
