Where to find Suspicious Sand in Minecraft

These Desert Pyramids are tricky to find but the loot’s worth it.

While they may be a little tricky to spot, Suspicious Sand only resides in certain locations, meaning you don’t need to scan the beaches for hours.

Suspicious Sand can be found in three different locations in Minecraft:

• Inside Desert Pyramid
• Inside Desert Wells
• In and around Warm Ocean Ruins

We recommend looking inside Desert Wells as they seem to currently be the most reliable.
