Magenta Concrete Powder — Minecraft block

Overview

Magenta 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.

Magenta Concrete Powder is a coloured block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Magenta Concrete Powder has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. With a hardness of 0.5 it gives way immediately under almost any tool.

Any tool works, and so do bare hands. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A blast resistance of 0.5 means a single creeper will clear it away.

It stacks to 64. You make it with Magenta Dye, Sand, and Gravel. No recipe takes it as an ingredient.

About the magenta set

How long it takes to break

Magenta Concrete Powder sits at hardness 0.5: 0.75 seconds per block with your fists, 0.1 with the correct netherite tool.

An iron tool takes 0.15 seconds and a diamond one 0.1, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to diamond.

The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.

The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 2 times the unenchanted rate.

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

Magenta Concrete Powder has a blast resistance of 0.5, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. The fastest tool for it is a shovel; 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.
