Green Concrete at a glance

Placing Green Concrete Powder in water and mining with a pickaxe give you Green Concrete, a block filed under Utility Blocks. Carrying Green Concrete is cheap: 64 to a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 1728 in a chest.

Green Concrete owes its colour to green dye. Smelting a cactus gives one. On the hardness scale Green Concrete sits at 1.8. A pickaxe makes Green Concrete quick, and even the cheapest one still drops it. There is no second figure for Green Concrete; explosions meet 1.8 too. It sits between Green Carpet and Green Concrete Powder in Utility Blocks, number 147 of 340 there.

How to obtain

  • Placing Green 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

Green Concrete is darker and more muted than the lime version, which is what makes it usable for hedges, park paths and the base of a tree in a large build. The dye is the odd one out in the group: no flower gives it, and you smelt a cactus for each one, so a desert farm rather than a garden feeds this colour.
