Talk:Sandstone

WHY has this been edited to say that spiders cannot climb two types of blocks!? Has the person editing ever had the chance to watch spiders climb sandstone? My guess is no. My friend and I built a sandstone fort and mocked spiders before realizing that they can still climb sandstone and that we were royally screwed. - threeivalor
 * I removed that part as I can also confirm that spiders can, in fact, climb every block in the game. --Flippeh 23:24, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

So can anyone give any info on what the explosion resistance of this thing is? Better that wood? Worse than cobblestone? Fenix3
 * I will test it later. I want to know if it will withstand ghast fire. Levy 09:45, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Natural?
Since 1.3 sandstone is at the bottom of sand, should it be moved to the natural section?
 * Sandstone isn't at the bottom of all sand but it's been moved. Morder 20:44, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Pinacles?
"As of Beta 1.3, Sandstone can also be found in Desert Biomes in the form of Pinacles." do we have evidence for this? Raiu tree 05:47, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Pinacles? either way, was a junk entry. Cheers for pointing it out! --Gnu32 05:52, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Unsupported sand
However, if a lake occurs in the space it may carve away the sandstone and result in unsupported sand.

Unsupported sand is also possible without a lake:

Um.. The floating sand is SandStone, It not a bug or glitch it how minecraft generates the world. It will fall if you mine out the sandstone or part of the sand. WiiMaster890 14:31, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Look to the left, there is clearly floating sand unsupported by sandstone at the bottom. --Buddy13 18:56, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
