This is probably because the item ids for the sand is different. Why I have no idea.

 

I have no idea maybe somewhere there was a glitch you might have discovered.

 

How much does it sell for?
:p

 

Would be interesting to see if its sells for a price being sand is $0 in value, hopefully its worth something :p

 

Perhaps @welikeike22 can shed some light on the situation?
I remember Ike selling some 'rare dirt' with meta-ID of 3 (or was it 5?)

 

12:5 is just sand. Doing 12:20 or 12:8328, etc. will yield the same results.

All sand, worth $0.

 

Its nothing more than sand that has likely existed in chunks for an extremely long time (legacy). This happens with most base blocks, such as dirt, gravel, and stone. It may have something to do with world-edit, but I don't think so. It tends to go back to normal if you drop it on the ground with normal sand.

 

Its relatively easy to get if you know where in legacy to go: same with the variants of dirt, stone, and gravel. Some dirt is so old that it has picked up the metadata of the special minecraft dirt that refuses to turn into grass: however, there is only 1 confirmed location in legacy where that exists.

 

:eek:
Is it narnia?

 

I cleared an old town once that had leaves with a diffferent meta data. The game would not let me sell them.

I have a bunch of oak wood types that are this way as well and have different item images as well for them.

 

So.. I'm guessing the meta data has changed over time?

 

Don't listen to me, I know nothing about this. But my guess would be that a long time ago, sands MD was 12:5, and it got changed to 12:0. But since those chuncks you were in were never loaded after the update, the blocks in it were still 12:5?
