Concrete is a type of material that in real life is composed of aggregate together with cement that solidifies over-time into a durable material, often being used for construction purposes, meanwhile, in the mod, it is considered a blast-resistant block that serves the same purpose as in real life. It comes in many different colors which can be all produced with dye.

Variants

Basic Concrete

There are many different types of Concrete in the mod.

Concrete

This concrete can be dyed with any dyes, and provides even more color variance than default Minecraft blocks via special dye combinations. These blocks can also be crafted into stairs and slabs

  • Blast Resistance 84.0

Asbestos Concrete

Whilst these blocks can't be dyed, they can still be crafted into stairs and slabs

  • Blast Resistance 90.0

Ducrete

  • Blast Resistance 300.0

Über Concrete

This form of concrete can only be obtained from the Lab structure, and will eventually turn into moldy debris, which will collapse any structure built out of it.

  • Blast Resistance 600.0

Processed Concrete

Basic concrete can be crafted further into stronger and more visually distinct types for a greater variety of creative expression and improved blast resistance.

Concrete Tiles

Crafted from regular concrete in any crafting grid in a 2x2 pattern.

Concrete Bricks

Crafted from regular concrete and clay in a crafting table. Also available are broken, cracked, and mossy variants, but these can only be found in various structures in the world.

Rebar Reinforced Concrete Pillars

Concrete can be combined with iron bars in a crafting table to produce pillars reinforced with rebar, this increases their blast resistance.

Concrete Slabs and Stairs

Regular undyed concrete, asbestos concrete, concrete tiles and all forms of concrete bricks can be crafted into slabs and stairs.

CMB Steel Tile

  • Blast Resistance 3000.0

Reinforced CMB Bricks

  • Blast Resistance 30000.0

Production

Concrete, Asbestos Concrete and Ducrete can be made in the Chemical Plant, while CMB Steel and Reinforced CMB Bricks have to be made in an Assembly Machine. As mentioned before, Über Concrete can not be created by the player. Concrete can also be found in naturally generated structures.
