Concrete is a block created when concrete powder touches water. It comes in the sixteen dye colors.

Obtaining

Breaking

Concrete requires a pickaxe to be mined. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

From concrete powder

Concrete powder becoming solid concrete on contact with water. Notice the sand block falls through the water, while the concrete powder instantly solidifies on contact with water. (Click for bigger video view area)

Concrete is formed when concrete powder comes into contact with a block of water (source block, flowing or waterlogged‌‌[Java Edition only]). If next to a waterlogged block, it must be adjacent to the sides where water can flow out from, such as the open sides of stairs, but not the back side of stairs or any sides of waterlogged leaves.

Renewability

Concrete is renewable as all of the crafting ingredients of concrete powder are renewable. However, without glitches, sand is renewably obtained only through the wandering trader, which spawns infrequently and allows a limited number of trades per spawn, making it impractical to obtain sand (and by extension, concrete) through renewable means.

Natural generation

Red and white concrete can be found in trial chambers throughout many various murals in an atrium.

Usage

The bright and solid colors of concrete make it useful for decoration. It has more pronounced colors than stained terracotta, and unlike wool, is not flammable.

As a building material, its hardness is slightly higher than stone, but its blast resistance is significantly lower.[1]

History

Teaser

January 27, 2017Jeb tweets a teaser image of a new brightly-colored solid block, shown along with the new wool palette colors.
January 27, 2017Jeb states that this is actually a new block, clearing popular rumors that the stained hardened clay texture was being changed.
February 2, 2017Jeb tweeted a video (archived) that showed concrete powder turning into a non-falling block when in water. This "wet" form of the block is concrete, though they were not confirmed to be the same at the time.
Jeb later added that 16 different colors are available.[2]

Issues

Issues relating to "Concrete" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

  • In real life, a 1-cubic-meter concrete block (the size of a Minecraft block) is practically blast-proof, while the blast resistance of concrete in Minecraft is quite low.
  • Black concrete is considered as the darkest block in Minecraft.

Screenshots

  • The first image of concrete, tweeted by Jens Bergensten, comparing it to the new wool palette.
