Sometimes you can found (on oasis in the desserts) some floating sand and if you broke one of blocks that this floating sand touches, the sand will fall down. |

The particles emitted by sand are proof enough for me that this is fully intended by now. For any further discussion, please use our Subreddit or Discord Server |

Careful with the terms.. In this particular case, it belongs to the category of being a bug that is (was) accepted (by Mojang) as (more or less) permanent feature. (An issue can be both, a bug, and a feature, i.e "Won't Fix".) Note also the use of quotes around the word "feature" in earlier comment by Nathan Adams. (It was certainly nice that those particles have been added there, giving a warning about its volatile nature.) (The part of "been in the game since forever" is one of the common, yet very bad reasons for stating something is not a bug. Been in the game for long might indicate, or at least correlate, on it being a feature (or at least accepted as "wont fix"/"feature"), but... For example, see Btw. my earlier comment about noting to see Dinnerbone's comment (in ... Until years later, Mojang decided to reopen it (meaning they have intent to work at least on some part of it), with priority "important". Does not sound to me like it being a fully accepted "feature" at that point. The problem is, as usual with Mojang, they don't bother much with looking at linked issues, and end up resolving them in different ways. (Or not resolving at all, compare Note, the generic root cause for most of these floating stuff -related issues are sort of same, even if the technical mechanism might have slightly different ways in leaving the floating something in the world. Thus, I'd assume that if Mojang considers one floating weird to be worthy of fixing, they might consider all of them... if they just remembered to look at the linked issues. |

It's certainly a feature and not a bug. Floating sand has been in the game since forever, and there even are special particles just for floating gravity blocks. |

That's right. WAI does not make any sense. |

This has to have state "Won't fix", not "Works as intended". |

And Mojang has confirmed that while it is a bug, they have decided it will stay, thus this (and some other related ones) are resolved as "works as intended" or the more correct "won't fix". See |

Would be damn hard to fix and probably slow the world generation down to 10 min per chunk I don't think this bug should be fixed, as it looks kinda cool. |

This is a "feature" of world generation. |

I've seen this happen too, and I wish it were fixed. Alternately, if there were some way for the player to produce the same structure, that would be neat. I don't like that the generated world contains things the player couldn't create. |

Not really a bug, and like Talven said I'm rather fond of this specific "bug". |

Honestly I think this should be left as-is. It brings another level of caution and danger to the game. Yesterday I was exploring in a desert, when my friend popped a block. An entire hillside came down right next to me. Luckily I wasn't directly underneath, but it definitely got my heart beating. |

Yeah, but maybe finaly it will be fixed _ |

It has been that way a very long time. I don't consider it a problem |
