Black sand is a mottled, charcoal-colored [[Blocks|block]], very much like a darker form of sand. | |||

All worlds (even those created before [[Feedback:Game updates/20131010|version 1.4]]) can have black sand spawned in them. It appears in thin and intermittent lines through existing sand, both near bodies of [[water]] and in [[desert]]s. | |||

Alternately, black sand can be created with a [[press]] from one sand and three [[Pig Iron|pig iron]]. | |||

Combining black sand with an [[Iron Ingot|iron ingot]] using a [[Metalwork Bench|metalwork bench]] (or an [[Electric Metalwork Bench|electric]] one) will create a [[magnet]]. | |||

Two black sand can be put through a [[press]] to produce one [[Iron Ore|iron ore]]. | |||

Like most blocks, black sand remains where it's placed even if all support under it is removed. | Like most blocks, black sand remains where it's placed even if all support under it is removed. | ||
The relationship between iron ore and black sand is circular but inefficient. Three pig iron and one sand can be turned into one black sand, two black sand can be turned into one iron ore, and one iron ore with one [[Crushed Limestone|crushed limestone]] can be turned into one pig iron. Completing this circle from black sand to black sand loses one sand, three crushed limestone, five black sand, and the required fuel.<!-- Six black sand become three iron ore, with three crushed limestone become three pig iron, with one sand becomes one black sand. --> | |||
