How to Craft Magenta Concrete Powder in Minecraft

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

At a Crafting Table, Magenta Concrete Powder asks for 1 Magenta Dye, 4 Sand, and 4 Gravel. Each attempt hands back 8 Magenta Concrete Powder.

Magenta Concrete Powder Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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

Overview

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

What A Stack Yields

Work a stack down, 64 gravel, and you land on 128 magenta concrete powder. Bring 64 sand along for the ride. Craft 16 clears the box of gravel.
