Concrete powder
  • Comes in the 16 traditional dye colors
  • Gravity affected (like sand and gravel).
  • When it touches water, it turns into a Concrete block.
  • Craftable. Crafting: 4 sand, 4 gravel and one of any dye to get 8 concrete powder blocks. The recipe is shapeless.
Glazed terracotta
  • Comes in the 16 traditional dye colors

  • Can be placed in 4 directions: north, south, west, and east.
