Red Concrete Powder at a glance

Red Concrete Powder comes from crafting, and Utility Blocks is where it sits as a block. 64 Red Concrete Powder fit in a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 3456 in a double chest.

Red Concrete Powder owes its colour to red dye. A beetroot, a poppy or a red tulip each give one, and a rose bush gives two. The game rates Red Concrete Powder at 0.5 hardness. Reach for a shovel if you want Red Concrete Powder fast; the wooden one already drops it. An explosion meets the same 0.5, so Red Concrete Powder is no safer against TNT than against a tool. It sits between Red Carpet and Red Mushroom in Utility Blocks, number 266 of 340 there.
