About Purple Concrete Powder

Purple Concrete Powder is a falling block. Like sand and gravel, it will drop if there is no solid block directly underneath it, so you need to plan ahead when building with it.

The main use for this block is to make Purple Concrete. When water touches the powder, either a water source, flowing water, or rain, it hardens into solid Purple Concrete. The hardened version no longer falls and has a smoother, more polished colour.

Key facts:

Falls unless supported by a block below.
Hardens into Purple Concrete on contact with water.
Does not harden from rain alone while floating in the air, only when water actually touches the block.
Crafted in batches of eight.

How to get Purple Concrete Powder

You get Purple Concrete Powder by crafting it. Place one purple dye, four sand, and four gravel in a crafting grid to produce eight powder blocks. There is no natural generation or loot chest source for this block, so crafting is the only practical way to get it in survival.
