- 🎨 Gather Materials: You need sand, gravel, dye (any color), a pickaxe, a shovel, and one bucket of water to make concrete
- 🔨 Craft Concrete Powder: Mix four sand, four gravel, and one dye in a crafting table to create colored concrete powder
- 💧 Add Water to Harden: Place the concrete powder next to water to turn it into solid concrete blocks that you can then collect
- ⛏️ Break and Collect: Use a pickaxe to break the hardened concrete blocks and gather them for building
How To Make Concrete In Minecraft: A Simple Step by Step Tutorial
Concrete is one of the most useful and good looking blocks in Minecraft. It comes in loads of bright colors and has a nice smooth finish that works great for building. In this guide, I will show you exactly how to make concrete in both Minecraft Bedrock and Minecraft Java editions. It takes a few steps, but once you get the hang of it, you will be making concrete in no time.
What You Will Need To Make Concrete
Before you start, gather all of these items so the process goes smoothly:
- Sand – you will need a lot of it
- Gravel – also a lot of it
- Any colored dye – for example cyan or light blue
- A pickaxe – you cannot break concrete without one
- A shovel – this makes collecting sand and gravel much faster
- One bucket of water
It might seem like a lot, but each item plays an important part in the process.
Step 1: Gather Your Sand And Gravel
The first thing to do is collect plenty of sand and gravel. Using a shovel will speed this up a lot. Try to grab a good amount of each so you can make lots of concrete at once.
Step 2: Craft Concrete Powder
Head over to your crafting table. To make concrete powder, place the following in the grid:
- 4 blocks of sand
- 4 blocks of gravel
- 1 dye of your chosen color
Once combined, you will get concrete powder in the color of the dye you used. For example, cyan dye makes cyan concrete powder, and light blue dye makes light blue concrete powder. You can mix and match colors to make whatever you like.
Step 3: Turn Concrete Powder Into Solid Concrete
Here is the important part. Concrete powder does not become solid concrete on its own. You have to add water to it.
Simply place a bucket of water down and set your concrete powder right next to it, or drop the powder into the water. As soon as the powder touches the water, it hardens into solid concrete.
A handy trick is to build a tower of concrete powder and then pour water over it so it all sets at once. Just be careful where you stand if you are playing in survival mode.
Step 4: Break And Collect Your Concrete
Now that your concrete has hardened, grab your pickaxe and start breaking the blocks. Remember, you cannot collect concrete without a pickaxe. Once broken, you can pick it all up and start building with your brand new concrete.
Why Use Concrete In Minecraft?
Concrete is a great building block because it has a clean and smooth look, comes in many colors, and does not fall like sand or gravel does. It is perfect for modern builds, colorful designs, and anything that needs a solid finish.
Final Thoughts
Making concrete in Minecraft is a slightly longer process than making other blocks, but it is well worth it. Just remember the simple steps: gather sand and gravel, craft concrete powder with dye, add water, and break it with a pickaxe. Once you have done it a few times, it becomes second nature.
If you found this tutorial helpful, happy building and enjoy your new colorful concrete blocks!
everybody it’s under my cap and welcome back to another video where today i’m going to be showing you how to make concrete in Minecraft bedrock and Java so without further Ado let’s get straight into this so I am super happy Daryl has finally arrived with his delivery it’s a lot of sand and a lot of gravel but we’ll just double check that that is everything we have why do you need all of this honestly I don’t know why we need all of this thank you so much Daryl uh let’s just quickly take everything that we’re going to need for this tutorial so to make concrete what you’ll need is you’ll need any form of colored d so I’ve got cyan as well as light blue dye you also need a pickaxe and a shovel just because it will take a very long time if you don’t have those and also you can’t break concrete without a pickaxe and you’ll need a lot of gravel a lot of sand I just did that the other way you’ll need a lot of sand a lot of gravel and also one bucket of water so it is a bit complex but I guess Minecraft just wanted to add that but without further Ado let’s get straight into this okay so first of all let’s get a whole bunch of sand now I just realized before I was playing in creative so probably won’t help so you can see I’ve got 14 pieces of sand now let’s go to the gravel over here I’m just going to get a whole bunch of the gravel uh like this um for you know that will be enough we’ll have seven and yeah now after this what we want to do is we want to go to our crafting table and we first want to place in the sand and the gravel which we want to convert into concrete so first what I’ll do is I’ll get some of these blocks here so you can see I’ve got four sand and then I also need four gravel three four and then all I need is a piece of dice so you can see we get some s concrete powder um you can also change that with different one so what I’m going to do is I’m going to grab this just need one more piece of gravel I’m going to put four there put another four here and then we’re also going to get some light blue so you can see now we have our cyan concrete powder as well as our light blue concrete powder now actually convert this into concrete we actually have to wet it with water so what we’ll do is place the I guess water down and place the concrete next to it bit of water there and then I guess we can put the concrete in like that so you can see oh oh my gosh did not mean to do that so you have to be careful where you place it um but what I like to do is I like to build up like a tower like this um hopefully I do not die from being in survival so I’m just going to keep on building up I should be okay I mean I can land it in a water bucket right okay awesome so I like doing this so I put the water down and then you can see there’s some concrete you just hop into the water and you just begin breaking the concrete like this so you can see it all falls down and you can start building concrete so is a little bit of a slower process but once you’ve done this you actually get a whole bunch of your concrete so you can see um concrete is that like Smooth material um and yeah it’s a really really cool block it is a bit of a process to get but you can also see I’ve made a huge mess but that is about it so if you did enjoy the video and you found it helpful don’t forget to leave a like and smash that subscribe button and I can’t wait to see you in the next video see you
