Overview
Magenta 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.
Magenta Concrete counts as a coloured block in Minecraft 1.21.4. 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 magenta set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 1.8, Magenta Concrete takes 9 seconds to punch out and 0.3 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
Iron takes 0.45 seconds against diamond's 0.35, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.
A weaker tool still breaks it, but anything under wooden returns nothing — you spend the time and lose the drop, which is how most veins get wasted.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 3 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| 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
Blast resistance on Magenta Concrete is 1.8, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. A single slot takes 64, the usual 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.
