Building with it

White Concrete Powder is the starting point of the whole colour set: four sand, four gravel and a white dye give eight blocks, and any water they touch turns them solid. Like sand and gravel it falls, so a stack dropped down a shaft is the fastest way to fill a hole before you flood it and the powder sets.

In practice

White powder needs bone meal, which any skeleton farm produces in quantity, so white concrete is effectively free once one exists. It is the brightest white block in the game, brighter than quartz, which is why it dominates modern builds and pixel art alike.
