Sand

Sand is a block in the Mining collection.

Obtaining
Sand is an item that many people want the collection for. It is because many people don't know how to obtain the collection for it, as it cannot be mined on any of the public islands. However, it is possible to collect them on Private Islands by placing Desert Islands or Pond Islands, and then mining the sand. After that, the easiest way to obtain more sand would be using Sand Minions. You may buy sand from the Farm Merchant for 4 coins per block, from the Builder for 2 coins per block under the Rocks & Bricks section, from the Auction House or the Bazaar, but these do not count to the collection. It is near impossible to get sand without first buying some, as even the pond and desert islands require sand in the crafting recipe. Mining Sand grants +3 Mining XP.

Usage
Sand is placed around the Cactus Minion. A Sand Minion is craftable using 80 sand around a wooden shovel. It is also needed in a handful of trades and recipes.

Sand can be smelted in a furnace or mined with a tool with Smelting Touch to obtain Glass.

Sand can also be sold to any Merchant for 2 coins per block.
