To make concrete in Minecraft, you need to first create concrete powder and then turn it into concrete blocks by exposing it to water. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make concrete in Minecraft:
- Gather materials: You’ll need 4 sand blocks, 4 gravel blocks, and 1 dye of your chosen color[1].
- Craft concrete powder: Open your crafting table and place the 4 sand, 4 gravel, and 1 dye in any arrangement, as the recipe is shapeless[2]. This will create 8 units of concrete powder in the color of the dye you used.
- Turn concrete powder into concrete: To transform the concrete powder into concrete blocks, you need to expose it to water. Place the concrete powder next to a body of water, such as a river, pond, or ocean. The concrete powder will instantly turn into solid concrete blocks upon contact with water[3].
Remember that concrete powder behaves like sand and gravel, so it will fall if there’s no block underneath it[1]. Once turned into concrete, the block will have a smoother texture and a brighter color, making it an excellent building material for various projects in Minecraft[4].
