Concrete Powder

Breaking

Concrete powder can be mined with any tool or by hand, but using a shovel is the quickest method.

Crafting

The crafting recipe is shapeless; the order of ingredients does not matter.

Renewability

Concrete powder is renewable as all of its crafting ingredients are themselves renewable. However, without glitches, sand is renewably obtained only through the wandering trader, which spawns infrequently and allows a limited number of trades per spawn. Therefore, concrete powder is more easily obtained by simply harvesting naturally-occurring sand.

Usage

falls through the water, while one of the pink concrete powder blocks solidifies immediately on contact with the water.]] Concrete powder falls when there is a non-solid block beneath it.

Creating concrete

If a concrete powder block comes into contact with water, it solidifies into a block of concrete. Specifically, the block has to be placed into, placed next to, or fall into flowing water, a water source block, or a waterlogged block. If placed next to a waterlogged block, it must be adjacent to the sides where water can flow out from, such as the open sides of stairs, but not the back side of stairs or any sides of waterlogged leaves. It does not solidify in midair falling past water. If it lands next to water, it solidifies only after a block update. Rain or splash water bottles also have no effect on concrete powder. Concrete powder in item form also does not become concrete. Concrete powder placed directly at water makes the placement sound of concrete.
