Pink Concrete Powder — Minecraft block

Overview

Pink 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.

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

About the pink set

How long it takes to break

Hardness 0.5 puts Pink Concrete Powder at 0.75 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.1 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.

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.

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

Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 2 times faster than an unenchanted one.

Tool	No enchantment	Efficiency III	Efficiency V

Wooden	0.4 s	0.1 s	instant

Properties

Pink Concrete Powder resists blasts at 0.5, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light does not pass through it, and it emits none of its own. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. The block is tagged for shovels, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
