Yellow Concrete Powder at a glance

Utility Blocks holds Yellow Concrete Powder: a block out of crafting. 64 Yellow Concrete Powder fit in a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 3456 in a double chest.

Yellow Concrete Powder owes its colour to yellow dye. A dandelion, a golden dandelion or wildflowers each give one, and a sunflower gives two. Yellow Concrete Powder has a hardness of 0.5. Its blast resistance repeats that 0.5, so Yellow Concrete Powder offers no shelter. It is tagged for a shovel, and nothing is said about which one. It sits between Yellow Concrete and Yellow Stained Glass in Utility Blocks, number 339 of 340 there.
