Sand Blocks

Sand Blocks are special Environmental Blocks that, unlike other placeable Blocks, conform to gravity. They deal damage to any player or mob it falls on. It is needed for making Glass which is used later on to make bottles

Location
Sand is usually found in very vast amounts: Usually in the form of a Desert. It is very rare to find little pockets of Sand.

Harvest
Because of its mechanics, and the fact that it is usually found in mass, Sand is especially easy to harvest: Simply Picking the bottom block will cause entire sections of Sand Blocks to collapse.

Useage
The Sand Block's easy harvestability make it a prime candidate for an easy Coin making technique.

Because of its unique gravity conforming mechanics, Sand Blocks can be used to create Traps, both against Monsters or Players: Sand Blocks can be placed over a Cobweb. When the cobweb is destroyed, it releases the Sand Blocks. This can have many useful and fun effects, like crushing traps, or pitfalls.
