White Concrete at a glance

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

White is the colour the game starts from: sheep grow white wool on their own, so White Concrete needs no dye at all, and white dye (bone meal or a lily of the valley) exists to lighten the other fifteen. Breaking White Concrete works against a hardness of 1.8. It takes the same 1.8 from an explosion. A pickaxe is the right tool for White Concrete, and any tier of it collects the block. It sits between White Carpet and White Concrete Powder in Utility Blocks, number 328 of 340 there.

How to obtain

  • Placing White 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.

Building with it

White Concrete is the block people reach for when a build needs to look built rather than mined. It reads flat and clean at any time of day, which is why it turns up as the outer shell of modern houses and the inside of shop interiors. Because white powder needs no dye at all, it is also the cheapest colour in the set: sand, gravel and a bucket of water.
