Green Concrete Powder — Minecraft block

Overview

Green 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.

Green Concrete Powder counts as a coloured block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Green 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 Green Dye, Sand, and Gravel. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

About the green set

How long it takes to break

At a hardness of 0.5, Green Concrete Powder takes 0.75 seconds to punch out and 0.1 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.

You are looking at 0.15 seconds on iron and 0.1 on diamond — the diamond step is where the time actually falls.

There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.

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

Properties

With 0.5 blast resistance Green Concrete Powder goes down to any nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. The block is tagged for shovels, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
