Suspicious Block

Suspicious sand and suspicious gravel are fragile gravity-affected blocks found in various Overworld structures. They can be brushed to extract structure-dependent items, including pottery sherds (A sherd is a shard of ancient pottery). Suspicious blocks drop nothing if they are broken, and break if they fall from any height or are moved with a piston.

Breaking
Suspicious blocks are unobtainable by mining, even using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. They are affected by gravity, but they always break with no drop after falling. They break immediately if pushed by a piston or sticky piston, and cannot be pulled by sticky pistons or slime blocks.

A suspicious block drops as an item if it falls for more than 30 seconds, which can be achieved by falling into an upward bubble column, or through two cobwebs stacked on top of each other. However, it does not retain its loot.

In Creative mode, the player can obtain a suspicious block while retaining its loot by using +  on the block.

Natural generation
Suspicious sand generates naturally in buried rooms under desert pyramids, as well as in the bottom of desert wells. It also generates within warm ocean ruins.

Suspicious gravel generates naturally in cold ocean ruins. Additionally, some of the gravel within trail ruins is replaced with suspicious gravel upon generation.

Brushing
When a brush is on a suspicious block, cracks start to appear on all sides of the block, as the  block state of the block starts to increase. If the suspicious block being brushed is naturally generated, an item gradually emerges from the side where the player starts brushing. After 96 game ticks (4.8 seconds), the item is extracted, and the suspicious block is converted into its regular counterpart: suspicious sand is converted into sand, and suspicious gravel is converted into gravel.

If the player stops brushing a suspicious block, the block remains in its half-excavated state for a few seconds, before gradually returning to its unexcavated state one stage at a time.

Loot
The item obtained and the loot table of the block is dependant on which structure the suspicious block has generated in. Items can only be extracted from naturally generated suspicious blocks. When placed by the player, nothing is produced after brushing.
