Behavior
Unlike sand, sandstone is unaffected by gravity and will not fall if placed without a supporting block. This block is almost identical to cobblestone, except that it is a tan color. It also has three different designs, the two newest only available in Creative Mode or if you found a Desert temple . In a previous version of Minecraft, Sandstone could not be destroyed by an explosion caused by TNT or by creepers .
History
Sandstone was added in the Beta 1.2 update; their respective slab was added in the next patch, with the introduction of slabs.
Chiseled and smooth sandstone blocks were added in Minecraft 1.2.4. Sandstone stairs were added in the developmental snapshot 12w21a.
Trivia
- Sometimes, if a cave passes right below a Desert Biome, the Sandstone at the bottom the sand will stick into the cave and make Sandstone "stalagmites". This is due to the layers of Sandstone beneath Sand not being even, thus they stick out into any caves beneath. As of Update 1.8 they fixed cave generation in Dessert and Mesa biomes , which means that the "stalagmite" generation will become much more rare.
