Wet Sand FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make sand blocks get wet?
Place sand or red sand blocks adjacent to water (including water up to three blocks away horizontally). The blocks will gradually change color as they absorb moisture from the water source.
Why is my 
Wet Sand falling down?
Wet sand blocks defy gravity and should stay in place. If they're falling, make sure they're actually wet—check that they're close enough to a water source and have had time to soak up the moisture.Can I grow sugar cane on Wet Sand without water next to it?
Yes, that's one of the main features—sugar cane grows directly on damp sand blocks even if the water source is several blocks away, as long as the sand is wet.
How do I dry out Wet Sand blocks?
Right-click wet sand blocks with an empty glass bottle to reduce their wetness by one level. Repeat until the block returns to normal dry sand.

Sand blocks can become damp up to three blocks away from a water source, creating a gradual color gradient as you move away from the water.

Yes, wet sand blocks can turn concrete powder into solid concrete blocks, which helps automate concrete crafting without needing to manually place water.

The mod primarily affects sand and red sand blocks. Check the mod description or in-game for any additional blocks that interact with the wetness mechanic.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is designed to be lightweight, but performance depends on your system and how many wet blocks are updating at once—large beaches with constant water updates may have minor impact.
