Required Materials to make Black Concrete

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft black concrete:

1 Water Bucket
1 Black Concrete Powder

How to get Black Concrete in Survival Mode

You make black concrete in Survival mode by pouring a bucket of water on black concrete powder. So let’s get started!

1. Place a Block of Black Concrete Powder

First, you need to place down some black concrete powder in your Minecraft world.

2. Use the Water Bucket on the Black Concrete Powder

Next, select a water bucket in your hotbar and then pour the water bucket onto the black concrete powder. The game control to use the water bucket depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the black concrete powder.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the black concrete powder.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the black concrete powder.
  • For Education Edition, right click on the black concrete powder.

You will see the water touch the black concrete powder and turn it into black concrete.

Only concrete powder blocks that touch the water will turn into concrete.

3. Put the Water back in the Bucket

Next, put the water back into the bucket. The game control to collect the water back into the bucket depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block where you placed the water.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block where you placed the water.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block where you placed the water.
  • For Education Edition, right click on the block where you placed the water.

Now the water should be back in your bucket and the black concrete will be showing.

Congratulations, you have made black concrete in Minecraft!
