Sand is a fairly common block, often found near water on new maps. Like gravel this block is affected by gravity and will fall to the lowest block in the z-coordinate it is placed in. However, it does not exhibit this behavior in water.

Sand has been removed in 0.0.19a, but returned in version 0.0.20a. It was removed due to lack of room in the UI.
