Brown Concrete at a glance

Brown Concrete, a block out of placing Brown Concrete Powder in water and mining with a pickaxe, sits under Utility Blocks. Stack Brown Concrete 64 high: 576 across a hotbar, 1728 in a shulker box, and 3456 in a double chest.

Brown Concrete owes its colour to brown dye. Cocoa beans gives one. Hardness 1.8 is what Brown Concrete is worth in the block data. Its blast resistance repeats that 1.8, so Brown Concrete offers no shelter. It is tagged for a pickaxe, and nothing is said about which one. It sits between Brown Carpet and Brown Concrete Powder in Utility Blocks, number 66 of 340 there.

How to obtain

  • Placing Brown Concrete Powder in water
  • Mining with a pickaxe

Notes

Not craftable. Created only when the matching concrete powder contacts water; requires a pickaxe to mine.

Building with it

Brown Concrete gives the warm, flat tone that wood planks cannot: no grain, no repeating pattern, just a solid earthy surface for floors and foundations. Cocoa beans are the only source of the dye, which ties this colour to jungle trees, and a small cocoa farm keeps a build in brown for as long as sand and gravel hold out.
