Concrete

"More intensely coloured than stained terracotta, use concrete if you’re going for a bright blocks of uniform colour, that - handily enough - won’t burn to the ground like wool."

- Ash Davis

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

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

Hardening concrete powder


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.
