Is there any way to exploit a floating sand/gravel glitch in minecraft? Like lets say you have a solid block like dirt. And then you place a gravel or sand block high above it, and just as it touches the dirt block you destroy it and then the sand/gravel floats?
Has anyone ever done this before? Are there any ways of doing this?
Rather than trying to do it in-game, you can use MCEdit to achieve the same effect. In MCedit, select an area of air and use the Fill & Replace tool to select sand. Save your world, and voila: floating sand.
Apparently, sand doesn't start falling until it's interacted with.
There's also a weird interaction between sand and torches, in that sand will float above a torch:
Minecraft physics is the best kind of physics.
if you end off not being able to use/find an external world editor someone on a minecraft server showed me how to do this by using tall grass and putting the sand/gravel ontop of it then break the bottom of the grass and the top wont update the sand/gravel and this way you can do it in survival without cheating
