Overview
Lime 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.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Lime Concrete is 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 lime set
How long it takes to break
Lime Concrete sits at hardness 1.8: 9 seconds per block with your fists, 0.3 with the correct netherite tool.
Iron manages 0.45 seconds and diamond 0.35, which makes iron the tier that changes how this block feels.
Below wooden the block breaks and simply vanishes. Bring the right tier or leave it in the ground.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 3 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.
| 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 Lime Concrete goes down to any nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. A pickaxe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for.
- Transparent
- No
- Required tool
- Wooden Pickaxe
Drops
Mined with Wooden Pickaxe, Lime Concrete drops itself.
