'''Concrete''' is a [[block]] created when [[concrete powder]] touches [[water]]. It comes in the sixteen [[dye]] colors.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Concrete requires a [[pickaxe]] to be mined. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

{{breaking row|Concrete|Pickaxe|horizontal=1|Wood}}

=== Natural generation ===
Red and white concrete can be found in [[trial chambers]] throughout many various murals in an atrium.

=== Post-generation ===
[[File:ConcretePowderUsage.gif|thumb|right|Concrete powder becoming solid concrete on contact with water. Notice the [[sand]] block falls through the water, while the concrete powder instantly solidifies on contact with water. (Click for bigger image)]]

Concrete is formed when [[concrete powder]] comes into contact with a block of [[water]] (source block, flowing or [[Waterlogging|waterlog]]ged). If next to a waterlogged block, it must be adjacent to the sides where water can flow out from, such as the open sides of [[stairs]], but not the back side of stairs or any sides of waterlogged [[leaves]].

=== Renewability ===
Concrete is [[Renewable resource|renewable]] as all of the [[crafting]] ingredients of concrete powder are renewable. However, without glitches, sand is only renewably obtained through the [[wandering trader]], which spawns infrequently and only allows a limited number of trades per spawn, making it impractical to obtain it (and by extension, concrete) through only renewable means.

== Usage ==
The bright and solid colors of concrete make it useful for decoration. It has more pronounced colors than [[terracotta]], and unlike wool, is not flammable.

As a building material, its [[hardness]] is slightly higher than stone, but its [[Explosion#Blast resistance|blast resistance]] is significantly lower.<ref>{{bug|MC-199580||Blocks added in 1.12 have oddly low blast resistances|WAI}}</ref>

=== Note blocks ===
Concrete can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sound.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* In real life, a 1-cubic-meter concrete block (the size of a ''[[Minecraft]]'' block) is practically blast-proof, while the blast resistance of concrete in ''Minecraft'' is quite low.
* Also in real life, concrete is made of Portland cement, apart from sand, gravel, and water. Cement serves as a binding material, that binds sand and gravel together. In Minecraft, dye is used instead of cement. It is possible that cement is made at the same time from sand and gravel, if the gravel contains limestone, because limestone and sand are real life ingredients for cement.
* A black concrete block is considered the blackest block in Minecraft
