Sand Block

Sand is a block type that can be used to make glass, which can then be made into bottles. It is affected by gravity and will fall if the player mines a block under it. This makes Sand easy to mine from the bottom of a stack.

Sand deals 20 damage (minus defense) to the player or enemies that is trapped under falling sand. The player can use this to their advantage by placing a block of sand above an enemy. Cobwebs, torches, tall grass, and open doors prevent sand from falling, which can then be moved or removed to creating a falling sand trap.

Sand can be used to eliminate bodies of water by placing many blocks in the water and then mining them.

As it is usually easy to find and gather, sand can be used as a quick way to get money at the beginning of the game. One full stack of sand (250) can be turned into 125 pieces of glass, from which 250 bottles can be made, which can be sold for 50 silver, which totals 500 silver or 5 gold for each full row of inventory.

Currently there is a bug allowing you to walk into sand if you are mining it at the level that is where you are standing.

Sand is used as ammo for the Sandgun.
