What Is Suspicious Sand in Minecraft?

Suspicious Sand is a sand block that contains a hidden item inside. It looks slightly different from regular Sand. Using a Brush on it slowly uncovers the hidden item.

How Does Suspicious Sand Work?

  • Right-click with a Brush to slowly excavate the hidden item inside.
  • The brushing animation takes a few seconds - do not stop or the progress resets.

  • Cannot be moved with a Piston.
