Minecraft:Concrete

Template:For Template:Infobox block 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.

Concrete is formed when Minecraft:concrete powder comes into contact with a block of Minecraft:water (source block, flowing or Minecraft:waterlogged‌Template:Only). 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.

Natural generation

Red and white concrete can be found in Minecraft:trial chambers throughout many various murals in an atrium.

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>Template:Bug</ref>

History

Trivia

• In real life, a 1-cubic-meter concrete block (the size of a Template:MC block) is practically blast-proof, while the blast resistance of concrete in Minecraft is quite low.
• Black concrete is considered as the darkest block in Minecraft.
