How do you smelt soul sand?

Published in Minecraft 1 min read

Soul sand cannot be smelted in a furnace in standard Minecraft gameplay. The reference stating it smelts into "Soul Vitric" is incorrect or refers to a modded version of the game.

Here's a breakdown of why and what soul sand is used for:

  • Soul Sand's Properties: Soul sand is a block found primarily in the Nether dimension. It is known for slowing down entities that walk on it.
  • What Soul Sand is used for:
    • Slowing Down Entities: Primarily used to slow down players and mobs in specific areas.
    • Growing Nether Wart: Soul sand is required to grow nether wart, a key ingredient in brewing potions.
    • Summoning the Wither: Soul sand is used as part of the structure to summon the Wither boss.

In short, the information suggesting that soul sand can be smelted is inaccurate for standard Minecraft. It's possible the reference refers to a specific mod or custom version of the game that alters the properties of soul sand. If you are playing a modded version of the game, consult the mod's documentation for specific smelting recipes.
