How to Craft Lime Concrete Powder in Minecraft

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

Lime Concrete Powder comes from 1 Lime Dye, 4 Sand, and 4 Gravel, worked on a Crafting Table. That comes out as 8 Lime Concrete Powder.

Lime Concrete Powder Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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

Overview

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

Per Stack

16 crafts drain a stack: 64 gravel become 128 lime concrete powder. You supply 64 sand to go with it. Down to the last gravel, nothing spare.
