Concrete

Concrete is a solid block available in the 16 regular dye colors.

Breaking
Concrete requires a pickaxe to be mined. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Post-generation


Concrete is formed when concrete powder comes into contact with a block of water (source block or flowing). It is not formed by contact with rain, cauldrons or water bottles.

Usage
The bright and solid colors of concrete make it useful for decoration. It has more pronounced colors than terracotta, and unlike wool, is not flammable.

As a building material, its hardness is slightly higher than stone, but its blast resistance is significantly lower.

Note Blocks
Concrete can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sound.

Trivia
Despite concrete being a blast-proof material in real life ( Assuming that the size of the real life concrete is 1 cubic meters -- same size as a Minecraft block ), its blast resistance is quite low in Minecraft.
