Building with it

Light Blue Concrete Powder needs a blue orchid, which grows in swamps, or a blue dye mixed with a white one. It behaves like sand while it is still powder: it falls, it can be pushed by pistons, and it stays that way until water touches it, which is what makes it useful for filling deep water before the wall is even built.

In practice

Light blue concrete is one of the few blocks bright enough to work as a sky in pixel art. The powder falls like sand, which builders use deliberately: drop a column into water and it hardens in place, filling a shaft that would be awkward to reach.
