'''Red sandstone''' is a variant of [[sandstone]]. Red sandstone comes in three other variants: [[cut red sandstone]], [[chiseled red sandstone]], and [[smooth red sandstone]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Red Sandstone can be mined with any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

=== Natural generation ===
Red sandstone generates at noise cave entrances in [[badlands]] biomes.

If a village generates some buildings inside of a badlands biome, any floating platform surrounding village buildings generate with red sandstone below red sand.

No naturally generated structures are made of red sandstone.
