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

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

Post-generation[]

Concrete powder becoming solid concrete on contact with water. (Click for bigger image)
Concrete is formed when concrete powder comes into contact with a block of water (source block, flowing or waterlogged). It is not formed by contact with rain, filled 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.

January 27, 2017 | Jeb states that this is actually a new block, clearing popular rumors that the hardened clay texture was being changed. | ||||
February 2, 2017 | Jeb tweeted a video that showed concrete powder turning into a non-falling block when in water. This "wet" form of the block is concrete, though they were not confirmed to be the same at the time. | ||||
Jeb later added that 16 different colors are available.[1] | |||||

Trivia[]
- In real life, a 1-cubic-meter concrete block (the size of a Minecraft block) is practically blast-proof, while the blast resistance of concrete in Minecraft is quite low.
