Appearance

Sand is a mottled yellow color.

Where Found

A Blockhead can find sand in desert biomes or beaches adjacent to and/or underneath some bodies of water. Small deposits can be found almost anywhere above bedrock.

Gathering

It's best harvested using a spade, although there is no loss associated with using anything else. A gold spade will produce occasional bonuses.

Crafting

Sand can be processed in a kiln or electric kiln to make glass.

Notes

Like most blocks, sand remains where it's placed even if all support under it is removed.

It's possible to farm some plants in sand instead of dirt. This is possible with cacti, coconut trees, and flax.
