Sand (red sand too) wets when placed next to water up to three blocks with different humidity levels. This creates beautiful gradient beaches and a couple of cool mechanics, as wet sand defies gravity and is humid enough for sugar cane to grow in it. It can also be used to automate concrete crafting.
You can dehydrate the sands with an empty bottle, one state at a time.
From version 0.1.0-beta and above, wet sand will dry if not slimed! You can make it retain the humidity level by applying slime to it. Right click with a shovel and it can dry again. Concrete powder can also be slimed! It will be waterproof! Also, slimed suspicious sand will be breakable and will keep it suspicious content inside!
Current 1.20.1 beta release doesnt have wet suspicious sands, as I am having some issues keeping its content between state changes.
Ports to forge/neoforge are not planned as we dont have the resources to do them and there are tools like sinytra connector that should make it work for those platforms

+ Add Version
- From now on, all natural sand blocks will dry if near water is removed. To keep a sand block wet, we introduce two new mechanics:
- Right clicking in a sand block with a slime ball will make it slimed. Slimed blocks will retain the humidity level even if near water is removed.
- Right clicking a slimed block with a shovel will remove the slime, reverting to the previous, non-slimed state.
- You can also make slimed blocks in a crafting table.
- Slimed suspicious sand can be moved without breaking its content. It cannot be brushed unless slime is removed.
- Added slimed concrete powder, which can be placed near water without turning into concrete. it can be crafted using the new slimed sand or by applying slime to regular concrete powder. The same mechanics as for other slimed blocks also apply to the slimed concrete powder blocks.
- Update to 26.3
- Fixed compatibility issue with java 17 (I'm sorry!)
- Added compatibility for java 17 to 20 (before was only 21+)
- Suspicious sand doesnt wet due to a bug removing its content (will try to fix in future releases)
- Wet sand currently doesnt generate in the world, but it will gradually be humidified over time if chunks are loaded.
