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.

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

Usage[edit]

Concrete powder falls when there is a non-solid block beneath it.
Creating concrete[edit]
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 or a water source block. 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[edit]
Concrete powder can be placed under note blocks to produce "snare drum" sound.

Falling block entity[edit]
- Dynamic block entity data
- Tags common to all entities
- BlockState: The falling block represented by this entity.
- Name: The namespaced ID of the block.
- Properties: Optional. The block states of the block.
- Name: The block state name and its value.
- 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 always 2. - FallHurtMax: The maximum hit points of damage to inflict on entities that intersect this
falling_block
. For vanilla falling_block, 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. If set to 0, the moment it ticks to 1, it vanishes if the block at its location has a different ID than the entity's
BlockState.Name
. If the block at its location has the same ID as itsTileID
whenTime
ticks from 0 to 1, the block is deleted, and the entity continues to fall, having overwritten it. When Time goes above 600, the entity is deleted.
