Lime Concrete at a glance

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

Lime Concrete owes its colour to lime dye. Smelting a sea pickle gives one. Mixing one green dye with one white dye makes two. Breaking Lime Concrete works against a hardness of 1.8. An explosion meets the same 1.8, so Lime Concrete is no safer against TNT than against a tool. Reach for a pickaxe if you want Lime Concrete fast; the wooden one already drops it. It sits between Lime Carpet and Lime Concrete Powder in Utility Blocks, number 191 of 340 there.

How to obtain

  • Placing Lime 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.

Frequently asked questions about Lime Concrete

  1. Mining with a pickaxe leading to Lime Concrete, the way this answer says Lime Concrete arrives

    How do you get Lime Concrete in Minecraft?

    Lime Concrete is obtained through placing Lime Concrete Powder in water, and Lime Concrete from mining with a pickaxe. It has no recipe at all: a pickaxe is the whole tool list.

  2. Lime Concrete coming forward out of the past, in the game since 1.12

    When was Lime Concrete added to Minecraft?

    Lime Concrete was added in version 1.12.

  3. Lime Concrete on its own, since nothing in the game is crafted from it

    What is Lime Concrete used for?

    Lime Concrete is a solid, vibrantly-colored lime building block formed when Lime Concrete Powder touches water. It is hard and not affected by gravity.

  4. 64 Lime Concrete drawn together, the full slot the answer counts

    How many Lime Concrete can you stack?

    64 Lime Concrete to a slot, so a shulker box holds 1,728 and a double chest twice that, at 3,456. A full backpack of 36 inventory slots carries 2,304 at once.

  5. The lime dye that goes into Lime Concrete, beside Lime Concrete itself

    What dye does Lime Concrete need?

    Lime dye is what Lime Concrete needs. Smelting a sea pickle gives one for Lime Concrete. Mixing one green dye with one white dye makes two for Lime Concrete.

  6. Lime Concrete as a block, next to the pickaxe its 1.8 hardness asks for

    How long does Lime Concrete take to break?

    Hardness 1.8 is what the game stores for Lime Concrete, next to blast resistance 1.8 on it. That is the default pairing for Lime Concrete, and it means it has no special toughness either way. Reach for a pickaxe if you want Lime Concrete fast; the wooden one already drops it. Java 26.2 spells Lime Concrete out this way, so nothing on it was guessed.

Building with it

Lime Concrete is loud on purpose. It carries a build's accents, arrows and signage rather than its walls, and next to gray or black it does the work of a highlighter. Its dye comes from smelting a sea pickle, or from mixing green with white, so the coral reefs that most players ignore are worth a stop if a build needs a lot of it.
