How to get Red Sand in Survival Mode

You can add red sand to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a block of red sand to dig up. Red sand is usually found in a special Mesa biome. So, let”s get started!

1. Find Red Sand

First, you need to find red sand in your Minecraft. Red sand is usually found in the Mesa biome.

This is what red sand looks like:

2. Hold a Tool

You can dig up red sand with anything including your hand, but it is faster to use a tool such as a shovel:

How to make a Diamond Shovel
How to make a Golden Shovel
How to make an Iron Shovel
How to make a Stone Shovel
How to make a Wooden Shovel
How to make a Netherite Shovel

In this example, we are going to use a diamond shovel to dig up the red sand because it has higher durability than the other shovels.

3. Mine the Red Sand

The game control to mine the red sand depends on the version of Minecraft:

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the red sand. For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the red sand. For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller. For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller. For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad. For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller. For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the red sand. For Education Edition, left click and hold on the red sand.

You will need to continue to dig until the block breaks and a smaller block of red sand finally appears. The block of red sand will float on the ground.

4. Pick up the Red Sand

Make sure you pick up the red sand before it disappears.

Once you pick up the red sand, it will appear in your hotbar.

Red Sand is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
