Sandstone
Sandstone is sand compressed into solid pale-yellow blocks — the foundation material of deserts, beaches, and Egyptian-themed builds.

Description
Sandstone is crafted by placing four sand blocks in a 2×2 grid, producing one sandstone block — a four-to-one compression ratio that makes sand pile up into a workable material. The block also generates naturally beneath every desert biome surface and at beach edges, often visible as exposed cliffs where the loose sand has been swept away by erosion or terrain collapse. Pyramids, desert temples, and desert village wells use it as the primary structural component.
For builders, this material is the cornerstone of warm-coloured desert architecture. Smooth, cut, and chiseled variants extend the palette: the smooth form has no visible grain (produced by smelting in a furnace), the cut form shows a trim band design, and the chiseled form displays a creeper-face medallion central to the texture. A red colour-shifted family runs through the same forms in deeper rust tones, sourced from red sand in mesa biomes. The full structural set including stairs, slabs, and walls is available for the base block.
