Sandstone is pretty easy to find in Minecraft. Find a desert and start digging. The upper layers of the ground will be regular sand, but below that the weight has compressed the sand into tougher sandstone blocks that hold their shape and won't fall. If all that digging sounds like hard work, then track down a desert village, well or temple instead - all of which are made of different kinds of sandstone. Or - for the very laziest amongst you - just combine four sand in a crafting grid.

 „
— Duncan Geere[1]

Sandstone and red sandstone are solid blocks, commonly found in deserts and beaches.

Occurence[edit]

Natural generation[edit]

Regular sandstone generates in deserts and beaches, compressed underneath several meters of sand. This naturally protects sand from falling into caves and ravines. Orange terracotta replaces what would be the sandstone layer for red sand, so red sandstone cannot be found naturally unless from village floating structure. It must be crafted from the red sand in badlands biomes.

However, if a village generates some buildings inside of a badlands biome, any floating platform surrounding village buildings generate with red sandstone below red sand.

Many structures that generate in deserts are made of sandstone. Desert wells are made of normal sandstone, desert villages made of normal, cut, and smooth sandstone, and desert pyramids are made of normal, cut, and chiseled sandstone. Additionally, warm underwater ruins are made greatly of sandstone variants. All the aforementioned structures use sandstone blocks, slabs, stairs, and walls. No naturally generated structures are made of red sandstone.

Obtaining[edit]

Sandstone can be mined with any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, the block drops nothing.
