About Black Concrete Powder

Black Concrete Powder is the dry, falling form of Black Concrete. It behaves like sand or gravel: it falls if no block is under it, and it turns into solid Black Concrete when it touches water. That makes it useful for placing dark concrete into tricky shapes, since you can lay the powder first and then run water over it to set it.

Falls when unsupported, like sand or gravel.
Hardens into Black Concrete on contact with water.
Breaking it before it hardens returns the powder.

How to get Black Concrete Powder

You can only get Black Concrete Powder by crafting it. The recipe combines four sand, four gravel, and one black dye, and gives eight powder blocks. Sand and gravel are easy to gather in most worlds, while black dye usually comes from an ink sac or a wither rose. Once crafted, you can carry the powder around and place it wherever you want before it sets.
