Sandstone

Sandstone is a solid block.

Chiseled sandstone is a decorative form of sandstone with a Creeper face and various small carvings on it.

Smooth sandstone is a decorative form of sandstone with a smoother texture.

Obtaining
Sandstone can be mined with any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, the block will be lost.

Natural generation
Sandstone appears at the lowest levels of sandy areas (deserts, beaches, etc.) and supports the sand above it, but if a lake is generated there, air may replace the sandstone and result in volumes of unsupported sand which will collapse if disturbed. The sandstone layer in sandy biomes forms “stalactites” on the bottom, which penetrate the stone below or hang down into caves or ravines.

Sandstone can also be found in desert temples, desert wells and villages in deserts. However, chiseled sandstone is not found in desert villages.

Usage
Unlike sand, sandstone is not affected by gravity, and it will not fall if placed without a supporting block underneath it.

Data values
Sandstone has the ID name  and is further defined by its block data. Sandstone also has a block state which is expected to replace the functionality of block data in a future version.
