White Concrete Powder — Minecraft block

Overview

In Minecraft 1.21.4, White Concrete Powder is a coloured block. White 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 White Dye, Sand, and Gravel. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

About the white set

How long it takes to break

White Concrete Powder has a hardness of 0.5. By hand that is 0.75 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.1 seconds.

Iron manages 0.15 seconds and diamond 0.1, which makes diamond the tier that changes how this block feels.

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

Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 2 times faster than the plain tool.

Properties

With 0.5 blast resistance White Concrete Powder goes down to any nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. 64 fit in a slot — a 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.
