Upgrade Arid is a lightweight Desert and Badlands overhaul mod that's designed to update these biomes in a Vanilla-Friendly way, by adding cosmetic blocks + content and functional hazards.

These blocks look similar to regular sand and regular red sand. However, if you step on it, it'll start sinking you inside slowly. Could be collected with shovels and used for traps.

A new block. Could be crafted with 8 gold nuggets and 1 sandstone block, requires silk touch to drop.
