Talk:Soul Sand

Tool
How is the tool a sword? Levy 14:00, 1 November 2010 (CDT)
 * Because that's just the way it works. Leaves and glass and some other blocks mine fastest using a diamond sword over any other tool. --ultradude25 (T|C) 17:35, 1 November 2010 (CDT)
 * Leaves, glass, crafting tables, doors, fences, ladders, signs, and storage chests, I think. --PurpleKiwi 23:06, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * "This material has the most of same properties as Dirt" This sentence makes me believe I should use a shovel, but then I look a the infograph and I see a sword. Then I'm confused. I think someone should explain this at the article. Another question: if I use a sword on the blocks mentioned above, will it take double-damage? --CrazyTerabyte 02:58, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The sword has an inherent ability to cut through materials faster than any other tool when that material has no other specialized tool. HOWEVER, two charges are used on the sword when used which defines it as not the specialized tool. Lern 2 TEST things please. Levy 21:01, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I added a harvesting section summarizing all of this. I added the conclusion that harvesting bare-handed is the best way to go, but because that's opinion rather than fact I encourage anyone who feels strongly otherwise to edit it. --TaviRider 18:39, 5 November 2010 (CDT)

Name
i think mud would be a more apropriate name. it does not have any of the properties of sand and does not even remotely resemble sand. --BlueLegion 22:18, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. That's what I call it.--PurpleKiwi 04:26, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
