Quicksand is a new block added by ExtrabiomesXL. It causes the player to fall through it much like a cobweb. If left alone, it will suffocate the player. Using a shovel will break the block quicker than with any other tool. It currently has no uses or crafting recipes but may be viable for traps.

Obtaining

Quicksand is found in the Mini Jungle biomes and is generated in a 3x3x3 cube. Quicksand can be mined out by using a shovel or other means to harvesting blocks. Each cube will yield a total of 27 blocks.

Uses

With enough effort, a suffocation trap can be constructed around ones base to deal with all mobs with at least a 2 to 3 block width and 3 block depth to suffocate most mobs and allow endermen to be killed. This may also be used to suffocate 2 or more block high mobs with a space under it to allow for item drop collection as protection and mob grinder.

Notes

• Endermen may become trapped in quicksand but will not suffocate due to them being taller than three blocks.
