Resolving disamb link to Console Edition
In the trivia section, there is a statement about resetting the nether in the console edition. I wanted to resolve the disambiguation link to the specific console edition it is referring to, however I do not know which is the one. Can you reset the nether in the Bedrock or Legacy Console editions, or both? Please update the link so we can help eliminate the old Console Edition disambiguation page as is already in progress.– Jack McKalling (t • c • p) 23:33, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

No reference to the ice/soulsand thing?
I do not see any reference to the thing where if you put soul sand on top of ice, you go extremely slow. can somebody add this? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by LuigiSauce (talk • contribs) at 19:49, 03 November 2018 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Natural Generation seems outdated
The page says soul sand spawns below y=65, and that was the case in older versions, but the highest I've seen it in 1.14 and 1.15 is at y=34. Should the page be updated to reflect the change? 98.179.27.230 20:09, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

So..Namespaced ID?
There is nothing about ID in here –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 149.129.97.70 (talk) at (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Merging Soul Soil with Soul Sand
They did it with fire and soul fire, so why not do it with this page? 98.230.115.82 23:42, 14 March 2020 (UTC)


 * If we're doing that, why not merge dirt with sand as well? - User-12316399 (talk) 23:46, 14 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Blowing it way out of porportion; dirt and sand have literally nothing in common, soul sand and soul soil are nearly the same. FVbico (talk) 23:57, 14 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Please refer to the soul soil talk page for an already existing merge discussion. FVbico (talk) 23:57, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

soul sand is now a full block but only by texture
arrows shot in the a corner of a soul sand block can still activate a target block behind the soul sand... please make tests to know if there's anything else with that bug. hope that it will help.--Nanto2016 (talk) 00:24, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

"Flying" on soul sand
Given how the slowness seems to effectively apply up to a certain height above the block (ie. anything lower than a bed), and how crouching is affected, too, I tried to find out whether flying is affected as well, using a one-block high crawlspace floored in soul sand. I could not tell a difference, but that doesn't have to mean there isn't one. FWIW, I did notice soul particles escaping while flying wearing boots enchanted with Soul Speed, but again, I could not tell whether it accelerated my character, or whether using fireworks was amplified (or diminished if used without the boots).Andersenman (talk) 13:46, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
