Sand is the block that covers deserts and beaches, and falls when nothing holds it up.
Obtaining
Breaking
Breaking sand drops it, whatever breaks it. A shovel breaks it fastest.
Natural generation
Sand is the top block and the filler of the Desert and the Ice Desert. Between y=60 and y=65, about half of columns in every other biome take sand as both instead, which makes beaches. Sandstone lies under the sand.
Duplication
Sand can be duplicated with timed piston movements.
