Overview
Pink Concrete Powder turns into solid Pink Concrete when it contacts water. It is gravity-affected like sand. Pink 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 Pink 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 pink dye (craft from flowers or other materials), sand (dig from beaches), and gravel (dig gravel).
Stack Maths
Counted per stack: 64 gravel, 16 crafts, 128 pink concrete powder. The recipe wants 64 sand beside it. Nothing is wasted: craft 16 takes the rest.
Materials Needed
Gather Pink Dye (craft from flowers or other materials), 4x Sand (dig from beaches), and 4x Gravel (dig gravel), then take the lot to a Crafting Table.
The Full Chain
1 Pink tulip or peony makes 1 Pink Dye, the one part of this you craft rather than gather. All in: 4 Sand, 4 Gravel and 1 Pink tulip or peony.
