Trivia

 * Until the 0.11.4 update, players weren't able to mine Sand on any public island. They had to craft a Desert Island and mine the Sand there to get Sand collection.
 * A good early-game tactic for getting decent amounts of money is to make an efficiency II golden shovel and go to the mushroom desert and mine a full inventory of sand. Then, sell it to the bazaar.
