Comment by rplatham [ 26/Oct/15 ]

Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy S4 android 5.0.1 mcpe 0.12.3

Why are the steps to reproduce so complex?

I created new a creative world
placed a torch under a block with a one or more redstone above the block
converted to survival and broke the block
observed the red sand fall and drop as regular sand items when they should have drop as red stand items.

Can not reproduce in survival mode , can not find any red sand. As a request , add a crafting recipe for red sand , one regular sand and one rose red.
