Cyan Concrete Powder — Minecraft block

Overview

Cyan Concrete Powder is one of the 16 variants of White Concrete Powder: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the White Concrete Powder page.

Cyan Concrete Powder counts as a coloured block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Cyan Concrete Powder is made at a crafting table. A hardness of 0.5 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.

No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.5 blast resistance).

A full stack holds 64. It is crafted from Cyan Dye, Sand, and Gravel. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

About the cyan set

How long it takes to break

Cyan Concrete Powder has a hardness of 0.5. By hand that is 0.75 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.1 seconds.

Iron manages 0.15 seconds and diamond 0.1, which makes diamond the tier that changes how this block feels.

No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.

Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 2 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.

Tool	No enchantment	Efficiency III	Efficiency V
Hand	0.75 s	0.75 s	0.75 s
Wooden	0.4 s	0.1 s	instant
Stone	0.2 s	0.1 s	instant
Iron	0.15 s	instant	instant
Diamond	0.1 s	instant	instant
Netherite	0.1 s	instant	instant
Golden	0.1 s	instant	instant

Properties

Blast resistance on Cyan Concrete Powder is 0.5, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. A shovel is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag.
