Required To Make Concrete
- 1 Concrete powder (any color)
- 1 water bucket
Steps To Make Concrete
1. Place Down The Concrete Powder
First, select the concrete powder in your Hotbar and place it down on the ground.

2. Pour Water On The Concrete Powder
Then we need to select the water bucket in your Hotbar and pour the water onto the concrete powder. Use the following game control to pour the water:
- Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition: right click on the concrete powder.
- Pocket Edition (PE): tap on the concrete powder.
- Xbox 360, Xbox One: press the LT button.
- PS3, PS4: press the L2 button.
- Wii U, Nintendo Switch: press the ZL button.

When the water touches the concrete powder it will turn into a concrete block.
3. Place The Water Back In Your Bucket
After you have turned the powder into concrete blocks, we can put the water back into the bucket. The game control to pick up the water is:
- Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition: right click on the concrete powder block that you poured the water.
- Pocket Edition (PE): tap on the concrete powder block that you poured the water.
- Xbox 360, Xbox One: press the LT button.
- PS3, PS4: press the L2 button.
- Wii U, Nintendo Switch: press the ZL button.
The water should now be back in your bucket. And that's it! You now have concrete.
