What is Chiseled Red Sandstone in Minecraft?
Chiseled red sandstone is a decorative version of red sandstone with a special design carved into it. It has the same warm, reddish orange color as regular red sandstone, but it features a carving of a Wither. This makes it a very cool and slightly ominous decorative block. Its main purpose is for building, especially for adding detail and a sense of ancient mystery to structures built in or inspired by desert biomes. It is perfect for decorating desert temples, building a throne room, or just adding a mysterious accent to a build. It is a block that adds a lot of character and a hint of the powerful creatures of the Minecraft world.
How to get Chiseled Red Sandstone in Minecraft
There are two ways to get chiseled red sandstone. The first way is to find it naturally. A single block of chiseled red sandstone generates in a secret room underneath the main structure of a desert temple. However, this is regular chiseled sandstone, not the red version. Red sandstone variants do not spawn naturally in structures. Therefore, the only way to get chiseled red sandstone is to craft it. The recipe is very simple. You will need two red sandstone slabs. You can get these by crafting red sandstone blocks, and then turning those into slabs. Red sandstone is found in badlands biomes. Once you have your two red sandstone slabs, open a crafting table. Place one slab in a slot, and the other slab directly above it in a single column. This will give you one chiseled red sandstone block.
How to use Chiseled Red Sandstone in Minecraft
The only use for chiseled red sandstone is for building and decoration. It is a purely aesthetic block. Its unique, Wither carving makes it a fantastic accent block for any desert or ancient themed build. You can use it as a centerpiece in a floor pattern, a special block in an altar, or as a repeating pattern in a wall to create a mysterious atmosphere. It pairs very well with other red sandstone blocks, like smooth red sandstone and cut red sandstone, allowing you to create a very cohesive and warm building palette. It is a relatively soft block, so it is best used for decoration rather than for defense. It is a great way to add a bit of lore and mystery to your desert creations.

Stonecutting Tips
Stonecutting is often more efficient for smaller quantities! While crafting recipes typically require multiple items or specific patterns, the stonecutter can create many decorative blocks using just one base block. This makes it perfect when you only need a few items or want to save on materials.
