Minecraft: making colored concrete - how it works

Solid structures can now be built from colored concrete in Minecraft. Read what you need to get this building material in this game tip.

Minecraft: making colored concrete

The concrete blocks cannot be crafted like ordinary blocks in Minecraft. A special procedure is required for the generation. But don't worry, this is not complicated at all.

• First, make dry concrete in your desired color. For this you need 4 blocks of gravel, 4 blocks of sand and the respective dye. Open the workbench and arrange these items as shown in the picture on the right.
• Colored dry concrete, like sand, falls to the ground due to gravity.
• Now look for a water point and drop the colored dry concrete on it. If the block comes into contact with the liquid, colored concrete is created automatically.
• The color of the concrete depends on the color of the dry concrete.

Minecraft: properties of colored concrete

• The surface texture of the concrete appears very smooth. From a distance, the blocks appear completely solid. [Colors see picture]
• The pickaxe is required for dismantling. One made of wood is enough for the block to drop again and be collected.
• So far, only wool could be used when building colored buildings. In contrast to this, concrete is not flammable and is therefore clearly preferable.

Ceramic is also suitable as a colorful, solid building material. You can read how to do this on the next page.
