'''Concrete''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] created when [[Minecraft:concrete powder]] touches [[Minecraft:water]]. It comes in the sixteen [[Minecraft:dye]] colors.

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

{{breaking row|Concrete|Pickaxe|horizontal=1|Wood}}

=== Natural generation ===
Red and white concrete can be found in [[Minecraft:trial chambers]] throughout many various murals in an atrium.

=== Post-generation ===
[[File:ConcretePowderUsage.gif|thumb|right|Concrete powder becoming solid concrete on contact with water. Notice the [[sand]] block falls through the water, while the concrete powder instantly solidifies on contact with water. (Click for bigger video view area)]]

Concrete is formed when [[Minecraft:concrete powder]] comes into contact with a block of [[Minecraft:water]] (source block, flowing or [[Minecraft:waterlogged]]‌{{only|JE}}). If next to a waterlogged block, it must be adjacent to the sides where water can flow out from, such as the open sides of [[Minecraft:stairs]], but not the back side of stairs or any sides of waterlogged [[Minecraft:leaves]].

=== Renewability ===
Concrete is [[Minecraft:renewable]] as all of the [[Minecraft:crafting]] ingredients of concrete powder are renewable. However, without glitches, sand is renewably obtained only through the [[Minecraft:wandering trader]], which spawns infrequently and allows a limited number of trades per spawn, making it impractical to obtain sand (and by extension, concrete) through renewable means.

== Usage ==
The bright and solid colors of concrete make it useful for decoration. It has more pronounced colors than [[Minecraft:stained terracotta]], and unlike wool, is not flammable.

As a building material, its [[Minecraft:hardness]] is slightly higher than stone, but its [[Minecraft:blast resistance]] is significantly lower.<ref>{{bug|MC-199580||Blocks added in 1.12 have oddly low blast resistances|WAI}}</ref>

=== Note blocks ===
All 16 colours of concrete can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sound.

=== Sulfur cube ===
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb concrete, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* In real life, a 1-cubic-meter concrete block (the size of a {{MC}} block) is practically blast-proof, while the blast resistance of concrete in ''Minecraft'' is quite low.
* A black concrete block is considered the darkest block in ''Minecraft''.
