'''Suspicious sand''' and '''suspicious gravel''' are fragile [[Falling Block|gravity-affected block]]s found in various Overworld [[structure]]s. They can be [[brush]]ed to extract structure-dependent loot, and are the only source of [[pottery sherd]]s. Suspicious blocks drop nothing if they are broken, and break if they fall from any height or are moved with a [[piston]]. They are rare to find.

==Obtaining==
===Breaking===
Suspicious blocks are unobtainable by mining, even using a tool enchanted with [[Silk Touch]]. They are much softer than normal sand and gravel, and can be [[instant mining|instantly broken]] with merely an unenchanted diamond shovel. They are affected by gravity, but they always break with no drop after falling. They break immediately if pushed by a [[piston]] or sticky piston, and cannot be pulled by sticky pistons or [[slime block]]s.

{{IN|java}}, a suspicious block drops as an [[item (entity)|item]] if it falls for more than 600 game ticks, or 30 seconds, which can be achieved by falling into an upward [[bubble column]], or through two [[cobweb]]s stacked on top of each other.<ref>{{bug|MC-260073||Suspicious sand/gravel drops as an item after 30 seconds of existing as falling block|WF}}</ref> However, it does not retain its loot.

In [[Creative]] mode, the player can obtain a suspicious block while retaining its loot by using {{key|Ctrl}} + {{Control|pick block}} on the block.

===Natural generation===
Suspicious sand generates naturally in buried rooms under [[desert pyramid]]s, as well as in the bottom of [[desert well]]s. It also generates within warm [[ocean ruins]].

Suspicious gravel generates naturally in cold ocean ruins. Additionally, some of the [[gravel]] within [[trail ruins]] is replaced with suspicious gravel upon generation.

==Usage==
===Brushing===
When a [[brush]] is {{ctrl|used}} on a suspicious block, cracks start to appear on all sides of the block as the {{cd|dusted}} block state of the block starts to increase. If the suspicious block being brushed is naturally generated, an item gradually emerges from the side where the player starts brushing. After 96 [[game tick]]s (4.8 seconds), the item is extracted, and the suspicious block is converted into its regular counterpart: suspicious sand is converted into [[sand]], and suspicious gravel is converted into [[gravel]].

If the player stops brushing a suspicious block, the block remains in its half-excavated state for a few seconds, before gradually returning to its unexcavated state one stage at a time.

===Loot ===
The item obtained and the [[loot table]] of the block is dependent on which structure the suspicious block has generated in. Items can be extracted only from naturally generated suspicious blocks. When placed by the player, nothing is produced after brushing.
