Minecraft How to Make Concrete & Concrete Powder

Concrete Powder is a craftable block in Minecraft that turns into Concrete Blocks when it comes into contact with water. Concrete comes in 16 different colors depending on which dye a player uses when crafting Concrete Powder, and it is crafted with sand, gravel, and dyes.

These blocks added in Minecraft Java 1.12 are solid colors with relatively no textures. These decorative blocks have expanded the arsenal of master builders, and are relatively easy to craft. This guide will teach you how to craft and use Concrete Powder and Blocks.

Crafting Concrete Powder in Minecraft

To craft Concrete Powder players will need four pieces of sand, four pieces of gravel, and a dye. The recipe requires a player to use a crafting table as the image above indicates where each piece of the recipe needs to be placed. Sand is placed in the top middle, bottom middle, left middle, and right middle of the crafting table. Gravel is placed in each of the four corners of the crafting table. And the dye is placed in the center of the crafting table.

A player will receive 8 pieces of Concrete Powder for every four sand, four gravel, and one dye used, meaning Concrete Powder is a 1 to 1 ratio in terms of blocks used. It is also important to note that whatever dye is used will warrant that color Concrete Powder, and the color of the powder cannot be changed after it is crafted.

Finding a lot of Sand in Minecraft

Players will need a lot of sand for big building projects, and luckily sand is fairly common. Sand can be found on islands in the ocean, on the banks of ponds, or in the desert. Desert Biomes are the greatest sources of Sand as they have the most Sand Blocks in the smallest amount of space. Players can take a few Shulker Boxes with them and a Diamond Shovel and fill up them up until their hearts are content, which should be no time at all since sand is also extremely fast to mine and collect.

Finding a lot of Gravel in Minecraft

Finally, Gravel is given a purpose other than being mined to find Flint and filling up the inventories of players while they mine. And with the addition of Gravel Mountain Biomes, it is now easier than ever to find large quantities of Gravel.

Gravel Mountains, like the one pictured above, are relatively easy to find. And much like deserts for sand, these are the best way for players to find large amounts of gravel without having to travel very far. Gravel can also be found while mining regularly, but can quickly fill up space where more precious items can be held. Repeat the process of filling Shulkers with these blocks and a player will be one step closer to amassing a large quantity of Concrete Powder.

It is very important that when using a shovel to collect these blocks that the shovel is NOT enchanted with fortune. This will make gravel blocks far more likely to drop flint when mined.

Dyes in Minecraft

There are 16 different Dyes in Minecraft, some of which are way easier to obtain than others. Almost all dyes can be found naturally, but others have to be crafted by combining two different dyes. The most common dyes are white which is made from bones, black which is made from ink sacks, blue which is made from lapis, red which is made from roses, and yellow which are made from flowers.

Players will need at least one dye to craft 8 pieces of Concrete Powder, and if they are wanting their builds to be uniform they will also need a large number of dyes. A great way to amass a large number of dyes is by collecting flowers and killing skeletons. A lot of craftable colors are made by combining a white dye with a dye of another color. For instance, grey dye is made by combining a white dye with a black dye.

Making Concrete Blocks in Minecraft

Once a player has crafted Concrete Powder, it is time to turn them into usable Concrete Blocks. Concrete Powder acts the same way as sand and gravel. It cannot float when placed meaning gravity will pull it down to the earth if there is not a block underneath it to support it. This makes Concrete Powder pretty useless, but luckily it is very easy to transform these pieces of powder into fully functional vibrant usable blocks.

All Concrete Powder has to do to become a Concrete Block is come in contact with water. A good method to farm Concrete Blocks fast is for a player to hold Concrete powder in their left hand while holding a pickaxe in their right. Holding both the left and right mouse button will allow players to continuously place and mine Concrete Blocks.

Another method is to build a tower of Concrete Powder and then use a water bucket at the top. The water will run down the sides of the tower and will turn the powder in blocks as the water comes into contact with each piece of powder. All a player has to do then is mine straight down and repeat the process.

Another way players can quickly use Concrete without having to place and mine blocks is to build the desired structure and then cover the blocks in water. For instance, if a player is building a wall of concrete, all they need to do is build the wall out of Concrete Powder, and then pour water over the top to turn the wall into Concrete Blocks.
