How to Craft Cyan Concrete Powder in Minecraft

Cyan Concrete Powder in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Gravity-affected block. Minecraft has used the name Cyan Concrete Powder since 1.12.

With a Crafting Table placed, 1 Cyan Dye, 4 Sand, and 4 Gravel are what Cyan Concrete Powder needs. A single craft gives you 8 Cyan Concrete Powder.

Cyan Concrete Powder Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Cyan Concrete Powder is minecraft:cyan_concrete_powder. In commands the namespace may be left off, so cyan_concrete_powder works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p cyan_concrete_powder
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p cyan_concrete_powder 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve cyan_concrete_powder 1

Cheats have to be on for Cyan Concrete Powder to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview

Cyan Concrete Powder turns into solid Cyan Concrete when it contacts water. It is gravity-affected like sand. Cyan Concrete Powder uses a shapeless recipe, so the ingredients can go in any cells of the grid as long as all of them are present.

Minecraft has used the name Cyan Concrete Powder since 1.12, the oldest release whose language file lists it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with cyan dye (craft from flowers or other materials), sand (dig from beaches), and gravel (dig gravel).

The Yield Per Stack

4 gravel for 8 cyan concrete powder scales to 128 out of a 64 stack. You supply 64 sand to go with it. Down to the last gravel, nothing spare.

  • Because this one is shapeless, Cyan Dye, Sand, and Gravel can go in any cells you like. The grid only checks that they are all present.
  • Line up 1x Cyan Dye, 4x Sand, and 4x Gravel before you open the Crafting Table. Cyan Dye: craft from flowers or other materials.
  • You get 8 Cyan Concrete Powder per craft, so divide whatever you need by 8 to know how many times to repeat it.
