Concrete powder is a gravity-affected block that is converted to concrete when touching water. It comes in the sixteen dye colors.
Obtaining[]
Breaking[]
Concrete powder can be mined with any tool or by hand, but using a shovel is the quickest method.

- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Crafting[]
The crafting recipe is shapeless; the order of ingredients does not matter.
Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
---|---|---|
Matching Dye + Sand + Gravel |
Red sand cannot be used in place of sand.[1] |
Renewability[]
Concrete powder is renewable as all of its crafting ingredients are themselves renewable. However, sand is only renewably obtained through the wandering trader, which spawns infrequently and only allows a limited number of trades per spawn, making it impractical to obtain it (and by extension, concrete powder) through only renewable means, but sand can be produced by sand dupers.
Usage[]
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.
Note Blocks[]
Concrete powder can be placed under note blocks to produce "snare drum" sound.

Falling block entity[]
- Dynamic block entity data
- Tags common to all entities
- BlockState: The falling block represented by this entity.
- Name: The resource location of the block.
- Properties: Optional. The block states of the block.
- Name: The block state name and its value.
- CancelDrop: 1 or 0 (true/false). Whether the block will be cancelled from being placed when it lands on a solid block. When true, it also prevents the block from dropping as an item (regardless of what the
DropItem
tag is set to). However, if true and the falling block'sTime
tag goes to 0 before landing on a solid block, it will still destroy itself and drop itself as an item (or not, respective to what theDropItem
tag is set to).CancelDrop
defaults to false for summoned and naturally occurring falling blocks (except for Suspicious Blocks). - DropItem: 1 or 0 (true/false) – true if the block should drop as an item when it breaks. Any block that does not have an item form with the same ID as the block does not drop even if this is set.
- FallHurtAmount: Multiplied by the
FallDistance
to calculate the amount of damage to inflict. By default this value is 2 for anvils, and 6 for pointed dripstone. - FallHurtMax: The maximum hit points of damage to inflict on entities that intersect this falling block. For vanilla falling blocks, always 40 × 20.
- HurtEntities: 1 or 0 (true/false) – true if the block should hurt entities it falls on.
- TileEntityData: Optional. The tags of the block entity for this block.
- Time: The number of ticks the entity has existed. When
Time
goes above 600, or above 100 while the block is below Y=1 or is outside building height, the entity is deleted.

Java Edition | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1.12 | February 02, 2017 | Jeb tweeted a video (archived) of a mysterious pink gravity-obeying block transforming into a solid gravity-defying block on contact with water. | |||
Jeb later added that it is to come in 16 different colors.[3] | |||||
17w06a | Added concrete powder. | ||||
pre1 | Concrete powder now converts to concrete when replacing a lava source. | ||||
1.13 | 17w47a | The different block states for the concrete_powder ID have now been split up into their own IDs.
| |||
Lava now turns concrete powder into concrete when coming into contact with said block, instead of converting concrete powder only when it fell into the lava's source block.[4] | |||||
Prior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 252. | |||||
1.13.1 | 18w30a | Lava no longer converts concrete powder. | |||
1.16 | 20w07a | As piglins offer gravel in bartering, concrete powder has become a renewable resource. | |||
