'''Concrete powder''' is a [[Minecraft:Falling Block|gravity-affected block]] that is converted to [[Minecraft:concrete]] when touching [[Minecraft:water]]. It comes in the sixteen [[Minecraft:dye]] colors.

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

{{breaking row|Concrete Powder|Shovel|horizontal=1}}

=== Crafting ===
The crafting recipe is shapeless; the order of ingredients does not matter.

=== Renewability ===
Concrete powder is [[Minecraft:Renewable resource|renewable]] as all of its [[Minecraft:crafting]] ingredients are themselves renewable. However, without glitches, [[Minecraft:sand]] is renewably obtained only through the [[Minecraft:wandering trader]], which spawns infrequently and allows a limited number of trades per spawn. Therefore, concrete powder is more easily obtained by simply [[Minecraft:Breaking|harvesting]] naturally-occurring sand.

== Usage ==
[[File:ConcretePowderUsage.gif|frame|Normal [[sand]] falls through the water, while one of the pink concrete powder blocks solidifies immediately on contact with the water.]]

Concrete powder falls when there is a non-solid block beneath it.

=== Creating concrete ===
{{main|Concrete}}
If a concrete powder block comes into contact with [[Minecraft:water]], it solidifies into a block of [[Minecraft:concrete]]. Specifically, the block has to be placed into, placed next to, or fall into flowing water, a water source block, or a [[Minecraft:Waterlogging|waterlogged]] block{{only|JE}}. 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 [[Minecraft:stairs]], but not the back side of stairs or any sides of waterlogged [[Minecraft:leaves]]. It does not solidify in midair falling past water. If it lands next to water, it solidifies only after a block update. [[Minecraft:Rain]] or [[Minecraft:splash water bottle]]s also have no effect on concrete powder. Concrete powder in [[Minecraft:Item (entity)|item form]] also does not become concrete. Concrete powder placed directly at water makes the placement sound of concrete.

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

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