Natural Generation
Regular sandstone will generate in deserts and beaches, compressed below a few meters of sand blocks. This protects sand from falling into natural caves and ravines.
Most generated structures in deserts are comprised of normal sandstone. The desert wells will be made of normal sandstone, villages made of normal and chiseled sandstone, and desert temples made of normal, smooth and chiseled sandstone. All of these are also be made partially of sandstone slabs and stairs.
Usage
Unlike Sand, sandstone is not affected by gravity, and it will not fall if placed without a supporting block underneath it.
