When sand is within a certain amount of blocks from water, then the sand will become a bit darker in color and become a new block, wet-sand. How would it work? Well something like this:
Wet-Sand, again, would form when sand is within a certain amount of blocks from water. It would take slightly longer to dig up, considering that it is wet, and is a slightly harder material. Wet-Sand can be placed like any other block, but it's properties do differ from regular sand. Instead of falling whenever it's not under a block, it floats.
However, it doesn't stay wet forever. As long as the Wet-Sand is a certain amount of blocks away from sand, it will turn back into normal sand in a certain amount of time. As long as it's under the sun, it will turn back into normal sand faster. So, if there is a block of wet-sand outside, and a block inside, the one outside would turn into normal sand before the one inside. When wet-sand is placed next to lava, it will turn back into normal sand in a matter of seconds. Rain would not turn sand into wet-sand. An Optional Addition:
If there is a one by one hole in the ground, and the floor of the 1x1 hole is sand, and you place water in the hole, then the water will disappear and the sand will immediately become wet-sand. But of the hole is bigger or deeper than 1x1, then the water will not disappear and the sand will take as much time to turn into wet-sand as it normally would.
Now, lets say that you have some floating blocks of wet-sand, when they turn back into normal sand, they will continue floating there until they are tampered with.
Additionally, when you walk on wet sand, water particles will splash out.

The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.
Is it solid or is it loose?
I mean, will it fall if dug under?
If you mean the Wet-Sand, then I said in my post that it floats, so no, it will not fall. But when it turns back into regular sand, it will still float, but once you mess with the sand then it will fall.
