Magenta Concrete Powder at a glance

Crafting gives you Magenta Concrete Powder, a block filed under Utility Blocks. A slot of Magenta Concrete Powder holds 64, nine slots hold 576, and 1728 fill a chest.

Magenta Concrete Powder owes its colour to magenta dye. An allium gives one, and a lilac gives two. Mixing one purple dye with one pink dye makes two. Two other mixes land on the same magenta. The game rates Magenta Concrete Powder at 0.5 hardness. There is no second figure for Magenta Concrete Powder; explosions meet 0.5 too. A shovel is the right tool for Magenta Concrete Powder, and any tier of it collects the block. It sits between Magenta Carpet and Magenta Stained Glass in Utility Blocks, number 199 of 340 there.

Building with it

Magenta Concrete Powder leans on a dye you rarely find lying around: an allium gives one, a lilac gives two, and mixing purple with pink gives two more. That makes it a colour you plan for rather than stumble into, and since the powder only sets in water, a half-finished magenta wall stays movable until you pour a bucket over it.
