How does the falling sand entity know when it hits water with command blocks? Does it just wait until it hits y=64 or whatever sea level is?

/execute has a detect argument that you can pass in to make it only execute from entities that detect a certain block in a certain position relative to them, so it's most certainly using that to check for water at the falling sand.

/execute <entity> ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~ ~ <block> <data value, put * or -1 to ignore> <command to execute if detect is successful>

Detect is a special kind of "command" that can only be used when ran with an execute command.

I'm pretty sure the sand is just being turned into sandstone

Nope, This is possible with command blocks:

/execute @e[type=falling_block,tag=!InWater] ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~ ~ minecraft:water * /scoreboard players tag @e[type=falling_block,tag=!InWater,r=0,c=1] add InWater {Block:"minecraft:sand",Data:1b}

/execute @e[type=falling_block,tag=InWater] ~ ~ ~ /setblock ~ ~0.25 ~ minecraft:red_sandstone

/kill @e[type=falling_block,tag=InWater]

Minor change: you don't need /execute for the last one because /kill has a selector you can use already:

/kill @e[type=falling_block,tag=InWater]

Thanks for pointing that out, I just threw these commands together quickly.

IDEK WTF this is, but have a point for an interesting animation

no animation, just command block wizardry. He basically made an upcoming 1.12 feature with command blocks in 1.11
