Concrete Powder

"The recipe above will actually yield concrete powder - a substance that falls like sand and has the blast resistance of a damp napkin. To turn it into concrete you'll need to add an extra ingredient - water. As soon as a concrete powder block touches water, it'll harden immediately into full concrete. Magic! No wait, the other thing - science!"

- Tom Stone

Concrete powder is a solid block that comes in the 16 regular dye colors. Like sand, gravel, anvils, and the dragon egg, concrete powder obeys the law of gravity.

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

Info


Concrete powder falls when there is a non-solid block beneath it. If it falls on a player or mob, the player or mob suffocates when the falling block entity becomes solid.

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

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, next to, or fall into flowing water/lava or a water/lava source block. It does not solidify in midair falling past water/lava. If it lands next to water/lava, 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.
