|Blaze Powder|Blaze Powder|Blaze Powder|

With the ferric Quick Sand Bucket, you can crush it into Red Sand, which takes 3 minutes

Lore:

• 
  Logic would dictate that you can crush stone or gravel into sand, but minecraft stone is (most likely) too poor in silica to make suitable sand, so we use silica rich, but tough granite. This hypothetically too poor in silica based on a theory of mine.
  
• 
  The rock crusher is a redstone machine that crushes rocks into smaller particles.
  
• 
  Red sand is red because of rust. The quicksand you can craft has all the ingredients for the red sand. The mixture is crushed up and heated by the blaze powder to speed up the rusting.
  
• 
  This datapack serves as an alternative to falling block dupers.
