Desert Well

Desert wells are small structures made of sandstone that generate in desert biomes. They contain five water sources and several blocks of suspicious sand. Suspicious sand has a slightly coarser texture than regular sand. It cannot be obtained in Survival with any tool, similar to monster spawners, and will simply break if mined. This will also happen if it falls as the result of a block underneath it being broken.

Using a brush on suspicious sand will eventually cause it to drop a piece of loot, and turn the block into regular sand. Several different items can be acquired from the suspicious sand in desert wells. The most common of these are the Arms Up and Brewer pottery sherds. Less common items are bricks, emeralds, sticks, and suspicious stew.
