  1. Fun fact, you can still use block replace for the sand below. This works with other 'unmovable foundations' like below Demon Altars, you can even use Platforms, it can be handy if the Altar is in the way of Arena construction or something.

  2. because chests are the strongest beings of terraria, made by the gods, the terrarian simply inherited the recipe for the pinnacle of defense. nature also inherited this miraculous creation, from the grassy lands of the surface, the night sky of space, the water caves of the underground and deep caverns, and the houses of hell.

  3. The chest grows its roots inside the sand, making the sand not fall.

    Side note: keep your doors shut in terraria, as your chests may wander off, if you see a missing chest, head to the closest surface cave, it may contain a mimic which was your chest before it ate all your loot, you may enact divine punishment on the mimic and receive a small monetary compensation upon doing so
