Green Concrete Powder owes its colour to green dye. Smelting a cactus gives one. On the hardness scale Green Concrete Powder sits at 0.5. Speed on Green Concrete Powder comes from a shovel, but the drop comes either way. Explosives face the same figure, which is why Green Concrete Powder is not a wall you rely on. It sits between Green Concrete and Green Stained Glass in Utility Blocks, number 148 of 340 there.
