Orange Concrete Powder at a glance

Crafting gives you Orange Concrete Powder, a block filed under Utility Blocks. A single slot takes 64 Orange Concrete Powder, a hotbar row 576, and 3456 fill a double chest.

Orange Concrete Powder owes its colour to orange dye. An open eyeblossom, an orange tulip or a torchflower each give one. Mixing one red dye with one yellow dye makes two. Orange Concrete Powder is a 0.5-hardness block. Blast resistance on Orange Concrete Powder is that same 0.5. It is tagged for a shovel, and nothing is said about which one. It sits between Orange Carpet and Orange Stained Glass in Utility Blocks, number 230 of 340 there.

Building with it

Orange Concrete Powder mixes the way every colour in the set does, but its dye is one of the easiest to farm: an open eyeblossom, an orange tulip or a torchflower each give one. The powder falls like gravel and only hardens where it meets water, so builders keep it in the powder form until the wall is exactly where they want it.
