There are 16 dye colors and each has a different recipe, so decide which color you want concrete to be and craft that color dye.
Water Source
You can solidify concrete in almost any water source except on rain and water bottles.
Once you have the required supplies, you can start making concrete in Minecraft.
Making Concrete In Minecraft
The first thing to do is open up your crafting table. If you don’t have one, four wooden planks can be combined to make a crafting table. Then right-click on it or press E while facing it.
Next you need to combine Sand, gravel, and colors on the crafting table in order to create concrete.
- Place the sand blocks on Grid numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5
- Place the grave blocks on Grid numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9
- Place dye on the 1st box
This will give you 8 blocks of coloured concrete powder which can then be used to make 8 blocks of concrete.
