Overview

Light Blue Concrete Powder turns into solid Light Blue Concrete when it contacts water. It is gravity-affected like sand. Light Blue 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 Light Blue 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 light blue dye (craft from flowers or other materials), sand (dig from beaches), and gravel (dig gravel).

The Stack Arithmetic

4 gravel for 8 light blue 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.
