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

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

Overview

White Concrete Powder turns into solid White Concrete when it contacts water. It is gravity-affected like sand. White 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 White 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 white concrete powder, so check the grid above rather than the video.

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

The Stack Arithmetic

64 gravel is 16 crafts here, or 128 white concrete powder once the grid stops. Have 64 sand ready as well. Craft 16 takes the last gravel, with nothing spare.

The Full Chain

1 Bone meal or lily of the valley makes 1 White Dye, the one part of this you craft rather than gather. All in: 4 Sand, 4 Gravel and 1 Bone meal or lily of the valley.
