Hardened Sand Blocks

The Hardened Sand Block is a type of block, along with Sandstone Blocks, that make up the Underground Desert biome. It looks similar to Sand Blocks, with an altered texture and slightly different color. Unlike sand, it is not affected by gravity. Like all sand-based blocks, it has Corruption, Crimson, and Hallowed counterparts: Hardened Ebonsand, Hardened Crimsand, and Hardened Pearlsand repesctively.

Trivia

 * Unlike other items used in crafting recipes, a Hardened Sand Block's tooltip does not contain the Material tag.
