Lime Concrete Powder at a glance

Lime Concrete Powder comes from crafting, and Utility Blocks is where it sits as a block. Stack Lime Concrete Powder 64 high: 576 across a hotbar, 1728 in a shulker box, and 3456 in a double chest.

Lime Concrete Powder owes its colour to lime dye. Smelting a sea pickle gives one. Mixing one green dye with one white dye makes two. The game rates Lime Concrete Powder at 0.5 hardness. Explosives face the same figure, which is why Lime Concrete Powder is not a wall you rely on. A shovel is the right tool for Lime Concrete Powder, and any tier of it collects the block. It sits between Lime Concrete and Lime Stained Glass in Utility Blocks, number 192 of 340 there.

Building with it

Lime Concrete Powder wants a smelted sea pickle or a green dye mixed with white, which is why most players make it in batches rather than one at a time. The powder falls, so a lime tower is easiest built by dropping the blocks in and flooding the shaft afterwards, letting each one harden where it lands.

In practice

Lime powder takes lime dye, which comes from a smelted sea pickle or from green and white. Green means a cactus, so a small cactus farm is what really stands behind a lime concrete build, and the powder hardens into the brightest green block in the game.
