Sandstone Blocks are found naturally-placed in the Underground Desert biome. Sandstone blocks don't affect whether an area qualifies as an Underground Desert biome. The only qualification for such a biome's enemies to spawn is a naturally generated sandstone wall. Like Sand and Hardened Sand, it is a corruptable block in Hardmode, and has Corruption, Crimson, and Hallowed counterparts: Ebonsandstone, Crimsandstone, and Pearlsandstone respectively.

It can be crafted into Smooth Sandstone, which then can be crafted into various furniture items.

Notes

• Even though Sandstone Blocks will not create an Underground Desert biome, its biome-specific counterparts will create and spread their respective biomes.
• Oddly enough, it can't be used to make Sandstone Brick and Sandstone Slab, despite the similarity in names.
• Only normal Sandstone Blocks can be turned into Smooth Sandstone. Corrupt, Crimson, and Hallowed counterparts can only be made into walls.
• A player equipped with Dunerider Boots will be able to run faster while standing on any type of Sandstone Block.
