Description

Light blue concrete powder is the loose form of concrete that you use before hardening to create light blue concrete blocks. The powder has a sandy texture and will fall if there is no block supporting it which makes it useful for temporary structures and for quick large scale colour placement. When the powder touches water it hardens into solid concrete which locks the colour and texture into place. This gives players a two step method for making large colourful surfaces where they can lay down powder quickly and then trigger hardening with water to finish the job. The light blue powder is especially useful for filling large floors and for laying broad coloured layers for pixel art projects and runway style surfaces in builds. Because it is easy to make in large amounts it helps when you need big blocks of the same colour without expensive crafting for each block. The powder can also be used as a trick for creating falling colour effects in maps and contraptions where players want moving or collapsing colour features before final placement.

What is Light Blue Concrete Powder?

Light blue concrete powder is the unstable sand like form of concrete used to create light blue concrete when it comes into contact with water. It is a placeable item that will compact into a solid block when wet.

Where to find Light Blue Concrete Powder

Concrete powder does not generate naturally and is crafted by players. You will find it in creative inventories and in player builds while they are under construction. It is also used by map makers for temporary coloured blocks that are later hardened.
