How to Craft Green Concrete Powder in Minecraft

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

The bill for Green Concrete Powder is 1 Green Dye, 4 Sand, and 4 Gravel, and the work happens at a Crafting Table. That comes out as 8 Green Concrete Powder.

Green Concrete Powder Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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

Overview

Green Concrete Powder turns into solid Green Concrete when it contacts water. It is gravity-affected like sand. Green 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 Green Concrete Powder since 1.12, the oldest release whose language file lists it. The recipe itself last changed in Minecraft 1.14. Guides written before that release show a different set of ingredients for the green concrete powder, so check the grid above rather than the video.

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

Per Stack

Work a stack down, 64 gravel, and you land on 128 green concrete powder. The recipe wants 64 sand beside it. Craft 16 takes the last gravel, with nothing spare.
