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

Overview

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

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

The Full Stack Sum

Per craft 4 gravel buy 8 yellow concrete powder; per stack 64 buys 128. On top of that: 64 sand. Nothing is wasted: craft 16 takes the rest.
