Make the concrete powder
Crafting concrete takes little time and effort. The needed resources are easy to gather, but you will have to create the concrete in 2 separated steps. The first step is to craft the concrete powder.
Resources
- Gravel x 4
- Sand x 4
- Dye x 1
You will easily find gravel in caves and crevices. Sand is most likely found near water. For more sand, it's much more easier to find a desert and collect as many blocks as possible ! The dye can come from any source. You can get red dye from flowers for example.
Turn Concrete powder into Concrete
Turning concrete powder into concrete only requires to place the block in water. The easiest way to do it is to find a river or an ocean. Once there, place the concrete powder into the water. Don't worry, the block will not fall under water since it will become solid once placed in water.
Once in contact with water, you have successfully made concrete. You can now collect it with a pickaxe.
Make concrete faster
There is a faster way to transform your concrete powder. You can directly create a pile of powder under your character, and place a water bucket on top of it. Take the source back in the bucket and the water should have slipped all over the pile.
Your concrete should now be all solid and you only have to mine it to from the top to the bottom !
