Description
Brown Concrete Powder is a loose granular block that looks like a pile of colored sand. It is the transportable form of concrete which players use when they need to move color far from a crafting area and then harden it later. The powder is useful because it falls if there is no block beneath it which allows builders to fill shapes and to create temporary forms that will later harden. When the powder touches water it immediately hardens into solid Brown Concrete so that you can form shapes and then lock them into place. The color is strong and uniform which makes it useful for building large surfaces with consistent tone. Players often carry concrete powder in shulker boxes or chests and then pour water on site to make the final solid material. Concrete powder is not solid until it hardens so it can be swept away by water flows and it can fall into caves making placement slightly different from full blocks. The powder form gives builders an important transportable step that makes creating big colorful builds easier without heavy resource use.
What is Brown Concrete Powder?
Brown Concrete Powder is a transportable loose block that becomes solid Brown Concrete when it contacts water. It is used in a two step building process where you move powder and then harden in place.
Where to find Brown Concrete Powder
Concrete powder does not usually generate in the natural world. It is crafted by players and then used in builds and construction projects. You will find it in creative mode or in player builds on servers that use a lot of color.
How to get Brown Concrete Powder
Craft Brown Concrete Powder using sand gravel and brown dye arranged in the crafting table. Collect sand and gravel from beaches and river beds and get brown dye from cocoa beans. Once crafted carry the powder to the build site and apply water to harden it into Brown Concrete.

How to use Brown Concrete Powder
Use Brown Concrete Powder to move color to your build site and then pour water to harden it into long lasting Brown Concrete. Be careful around flowing water because powder will fall and be carried away. Use it when making large colorful surfaces or when you want to create shapes that are easier to move before they become permanent.
