I sometimes run into sand that is floating, usually over water. Here's a picture:[attachment=0]<attachment unavailable>[/attachment]

And when I break a block of sand touching all of it, it falls. Is it a bug?

I love the floating sand. It just makes the terrain look oh so cool in mountainous sandy areas.

floating sand is actually quite cool... makes a pitfall trap for you to fall through. just hope it's solid or water underneath, not lava!

Here is how

The generator first adds all the blocks.
Then after that the generator adds the fluids, since they need a little space above most of the time the game will delete some sand, without letting possible sand fall down, thus making the sand float.
