2 easy changes to get renewable sand

Adding these 2 simple things will easily make sand renewable:

• Husks drop 1-3 sand (increased upto 7-8 with Looting III)
• Reinforcement spawns match the biome they spawn in (i.e. reinforcement zombies spawning in deserts must be husks)

That's it. These alone are enough to make a ridiculously fast sand farm (see IanXOFour's copper farm for a proof of concept).

This could also be extended to easily get renewable gravel, by making drowned drop gravel.

  YES i love sandstone and glass and it hurts to tear down an entire desert just so i can build my base ;(. there needs to be more ways to get sand renewably since wandering traders despawn and don't restock

  also we need a way to get more red sand!
