Description
Green concrete powder is a granular loose block that turns into solid concrete when it comes into contact with water. It has a rough texture and looks similar to sand and gravel mixed with dye which makes it easy to spread and shape before it sets. Players use concrete powder when they want to lay out coloured areas quickly and then lock that colour in by adding water to the edges. The powder is handy for large scale builds because it is cheaper to move and place than gathering solid blocks one by one, and it can be arranged to fall into shapes when placed above gaps. It is also useful in crafting techniques where concrete is needed but the builder wants to form the precise final shape on site. Because it reacts with water there are creative uses such as pushing powder through water streams to set complex patterns or to create layered colour effects. The powder cannot support as much weight as solid blocks but it is an excellent intermediate material for shaping and setting coloured structures.
What is Green Concrete Powder?
Green concrete powder is the loose form of green concrete that you make into solid green concrete by bringing it into contact with water. It is useful for shaping and placing colour on a large scale before it hardens.
Where to find Green Concrete Powder
Concrete powder does not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. It is found in player builds at the preparation stage before converting to solid concrete.
How to get Green Concrete Powder
Craft green concrete powder using sand gravel and green dye on a crafting table. Move the powder to the place you want and then apply water or place it near water to convert it into solid green concrete.
