Moar Concrete — Guide

Making them

The shaped pieces are made from concrete you already have, so there is nothing new to gather first.

• On a crafting bench — the usual shape recipes: three across two rows in a stepped pattern for stairs, a row of three for slabs and walls, the standard fence and gate arrangements, and a single block for a button.
• With a cutter — most pieces also have a cutting recipe, which is the cheaper route when you need a lot of one shape.

Broken blocks drop themselves, so anything placed can be taken back and used elsewhere.

The textured variant

The textured finish is the one exception. It has no recipe and it is stocked from the creative menu rather than made in survival; broken, it does not drop. Treat it as a decorative face for builds rather than a survival material.

The other nine shapes behave normally in survival: craft them, place them, mine them, get them back.

How they behave

Each block copies its behaviour from the vanilla concrete of the same colour, so nothing about them is surprising:

• Same hardness, so they take the same time to break.
• Same tool — a pickaxe is the fastest way through.
• Same block sounds when placed, broken and walked on.
• Same colour values, exactly. White stairs are the white of white concrete, so new pieces sit against existing concrete with no visible seam.

Slabs, stairs, walls, fences, gates and panels use the standard vanilla shapes, which means they connect to their vanilla counterparts the way you would expect.

Finding them in the creative menu

There are two places to look:

• A dedicated tab collects the whole set together, grouped by shape, which is the quickest way to pick through the full range.
• The blocks also appear in the coloured blocks tab beside the vanilla concrete they match, so you can grab the shape you need without leaving the tab you are already in. Buttons sit with the other buttons instead.
