Block Showcase: Fire
Some days, when life gets you down, you might just feel an urge to BURN SOMETHING!
If so, then great news: I’ve got just what you need.
Fire is one of the many elements at your disposal in Block Sandbox, and it can do just that. Take this wheel I built, for instance. Why did I build a wheel? I don’t know, but I hate it! Time to take it out.
Much better. Large wooden structures can be destroyed with ease by even a tiny fire source, just like in real life! Isn’t arson fun?
But fire isn’t just for show. It can interact with other in-game elements and cause nifty chain reactions.
Be free, sand!
During gameplay, fire will prove itself to be a devastatingly powerful ally, and sometimes, a worthy opponent. How? You’ll just have to play the game to find out. That’s all for now, see you next time!

why was the first thing i thought of when i saw the sand thing
what if it turns out to be turing complete somehow
Probably not. I’m going to enforce a maximum size limit on the sandbox for performance reasons, which would restrict things a little. There is, however, an element which mimics John Conway’s Game of Life, which I’ve heard is Turing-complete on an infinite grid
for some reason the fire effect kinda reminds me of sand:box (a mobile game)
