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

All worlds (even those created before [[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. | |||
It is best [[Harvesting|harvested]] using a [[spade]] or [[magnet]] (which has an odd, metallic "shing" sound associated with it), although there is no loss associated with using anything else. A [[Gold Tool|gold tool]] may produce [[Iron Ore|iron ore]], [[magnet]]s, [[Black Glass|black glass]], or [[Time Crystal|time crystals]] when black sand is harvested. | |||
Alternately, black sand can be created with a [[press]] from one sand and three [[Pig Iron|pig iron]]. | |||

Black sand can be processed in a [[kiln]] or [[Electric Kiln|electric kiln]] to make [[Black Glass|black glass]]. | |||

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]]. | |||

Black sand will function as regular sand for growing [[Flax Bush|flax]]<!-- , [[Coconut Tree|coconut tree]], or [[cactus]]-->. | |||
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. --> | |||
