Did you try using

/give <player> sand <amount> 1

Hi JervieA20 I have indeed try to use different data values the result is always the player being given regular sand when using command /give @s sand 1 <data value>

Hi [MCQA] Bartłomiej Słodkowski as I have previously stated in my comment reply to JervieA20 I have indeed gone through the effort of checking most data values including the one you state in Minecraft bedrock edition they all end up giving sand to the player and not red sand.

Could you attach a video of the issue?

Hi [Mod] OcelotOnesie and [MCQA] Bartłomiej Słodkowski and JervieA20 I have resolved the issue by uninstalling Minecraft, restarting the console, and then reinstalling Minecraft. The advice you gave me seems to be working now. I believe it may be due to the game getting confused with the commands that I am using as they weren't simple, causing an issue with the whole command system in Minecraft. Even the simple command that I used as a template instead of typing out the command that I am using gave me just regular sand instead of red sand. And unfortunately, I didn't record the issue. I will take a mental note of this, and next time I come across any issues, I will record them right away. I'm so sorry for wasting all of your time.
