Talk:Sand Blocks

What is an "Environmental Block"? Is that just any block that is found naturally...? --GauHelldragon 10:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * My guess is that it is a soil? Environmental Block redirects to Biome, so that doesn't really mean anything. Not sure "Sand Blocks are special soils" is grammatically correct though. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 10:20, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

How much sand blocks are needed to get desert background?
I'm going to look for the answer myself, but it will take quite some time since I have sand blocks to place.... but it's said for ebonstone and pearlstone that 200 pieces will make a biome, right now I guess 10 height x 20 width may do the trick, so I'm going to test it. If anyone know how exactly it should be done, please respond.

possible bug?
I placed a full stack of sand (999) and used the clentaminator to change it to pearlsand. Then I mined it and found I had only 601 pearlsand... for some reason I'm missing more than 1/3 of the total.
