End Stone

Ender Sand is a new block that appears in The End and makes up the surface of the world. It appears as a white block with a mottled texture that can be found in the 1.9 pre-release 3 terrain.png underneath the Air Portal and Air Portal Frame textures. Ender Sand can only be successfully mined with a Pickaxe and will drop Cobblestone like normal stone. Mining the Ender Sand with a pickaxe which has a silk touch enchantment will however yield a white stone block. There is currently no way to leave the End with it, though.

Trivia

 * The texture is just a brightened version of the Cobblestone texture.


 * Endermen cannot pick up Ender Sand.


 * It's blast resistance is slightly greater than normal cobblestone, enough to leave at least 2-3 blocks left after the piece of TNT has exploded


 * Placing a bed and trying to sleep in it will cause an explosion.
