Red Sandstone is a solid block. It is a sedimentary rock found naturally at entrances of mesa caves, and can also be crafted from red sand. Unlike regular sandstone, it does not generate under the red sand floor, rather, orange stained clay does this job.
Chiseled Red Sandstone is a decorative form of red sandstone with a wither carving on it.
Smooth Red Sandstone is a decorative form of red sandstone with a smoother texture.
Obtaining
Red sandstone can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, the block is lost.

- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Natural generation
Red sandstone generates naturally at most cave entrances in mesa biomes. The amount that generates is highly variable; some caves may generate a large amount of red sandstone, while others may generate just one block, or even none. Liquid pools will not generate red sandstone, resulting in floating red sand which will fall when updated.
