Description
Lime concrete powder is a gritty loose material that represents the uncured form of lime concrete. It is used by builders who want to shape a scene before fixing it permanently. The powder looks like a bright green dust and it will harden when it comes into contact with water. That gives players a flexible building approach because they can place powder and then decide when and where to set it by watering it. It can be moved by gravity in a few situations and it will fall when unsupported so you can create interesting cascades and effects if you plan for it. In survival you craft powder from sand gravel and dye making it an accessible material once you have the basic ingredients. Because it is a powder it cannot support other blocks until it is hardened into solid concrete. It is not flammable and it is fairly cheap to make in volumes which makes it good for large color fields and for industrial style builds. Players use concrete powder for quick color testing, for staged builds and for artistic drops where the powder will fall and then be turned into hard concrete by a controlled water source. It is a clever tool in the builder toolbox when you want bright color with a stageable installation process.
What is Lime Concrete Powder?
Lime concrete powder is the untreated form of lime concrete that becomes solid when water is applied. It is a free flowing block that is useful when you want to place color and then decide where to keep it permanently. The powder behaves differently from solid blocks and is useful for temporary work and for specific gravity effects.
Where to find Lime Concrete Powder
Concrete powder does not generate naturally and players make it at the crafting table. It is common in player inventories and in creative mode. You will not find natural deposits of concrete powder in the world so you plan to craft it when you need it for a project.
How to get Lime Concrete Powder
Craft concrete powder at a crafting table using sand gravel and lime dye. Move the powder to the desired location and then apply water to trigger the change into concrete. You can carry powder and place it quickly to cover large areas before hardening.

How to use Lime Concrete Powder
Lay powder where you want a color field and then apply water to turn it into permanent concrete. Use it for staged building and for special effects where you want blocks to fall and then harden. Pair it with water channels and dispensers to create automatic hardening systems and to speed up large scale projects.
