Overview
Cyan Concrete is one of the 16 variants of White Concrete: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the White Concrete page.
Minecraft classifies Cyan Concrete as a coloured block. It is gathered by mining rather than crafted. At a hardness of 1.8 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
It needs at least a wooden pickaxe to drop anything; a weaker tool destroys it for nothing. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A blast resistance of 1.8 means a single creeper will clear it away.
It stacks to 64. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the cyan set
How long it takes to break
Cyan Concrete has a hardness of 1.8. By hand that is 9 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.3 seconds.
An iron tool takes 0.45 seconds and a diamond one 0.35, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to iron.
Below wooden the block breaks and simply vanishes. Bring the right tier or leave it in the ground.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 3 times faster than the plain tool.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand * | 9 s | 9 s | 9 s |
| Wooden | 1.4 s | 0.25 s | 0.1 s |
| Stone | 0.7 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.45 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.35 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.3 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
Properties
With 1.8 blast resistance Cyan Concrete goes down to any nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. The fastest tool for it is a pickaxe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.
- Transparent
- No
- Required tool
- Wooden Pickaxe
Drops
Mined with Wooden Pickaxe, Cyan Concrete drops itself.
