About

Sandstone is a solid rock block that forms naturally in desert biomes and can be mined from sand using a pickaxe. It stacks to 64 and serves mainly as a building material for desert-themed construction.

Admins grant it via /give @p minecraft:sandstone 1. Its low hardness of 0.8 makes it quick to break, and it can be crafted from four sand blocks in a 2×2 pattern. Chiseled and cut variants exist for additional architectural detail.
