Overview
Soul Sand counts as a Nether block in Minecraft 1.21.4. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. A hardness of 0.5 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.5 blast resistance).
A full stack holds 64. It is used to craft Soul Campfire and Soul Torch.
