In Java Edition, sand can generate and sandstone no longer generates in the bottom of desert well. Also, suspicious sand can generate more and its amount is 2-4. In Bedrock Edition, there is no sand and still sandstone in the bottom of desert well and the amount of suspicious sand in desert well is only one, which isn't parity with Java Edition.
Update on 25/3/2023:
Sand can now generate in the bottom of desert well. Additionally, the amount of suspicious sand in desert well is now 2 but still doesn't match Java Edition.
Steps to Reproduce:
Search for a desert well
For example, use seed 828392347159607576 to create "Next Major Update" experimental world
Go to coordinates 6463 63 9437
Observe the bottom of desert well
Observed Results:
Generates sandstone instead of sand and the amount of suspicious sand is only one.
Expected Results:
Generates sand instead of sandstone and the amount of suspicious sand should be 2-4.

Did some analysis of Java vs. Bedrock desert wells. Bedrock generates approximately 3 times as many wells as Java Edition. However, the size of the desert can affect this multiplier. In large deserts Bedrock will actually produce more suspicious sand loot than in Java, but if the desert is tiny then Java's 2 to 3 suspicious sands per well will outperform Bedrock's totals.
Note: need to enable "Next Major Update" experiments toggle.
