Concrete powder is the very first step in making white concrete in Minecraft. Players will have to gather at least four sand and four gravel as well as some white dye.

Sand can be found in deserts and on beaches in Minecraft. Gravel can be found in caves, ocean floors, disks on beaches and, even in the nether next to some lava pools. Piglins may also barter between eight and sixteen gravel when they are given a golden ingot, according to the wiki page.

White dye is another very important item needed to be able to make white concrete. White dye can be made from either a bone meal or a lily of the valley flower. Lily of the valley flowers can be found all over the world and are most common in flower biomes such as flower forests. Bone meals are another option for making white dye.

Bone meals can be obtained from bones dropped by skeletons or even bone blocks. Bone blocks can be found in fossil structures in desert and swamp biomes. Players will have to place the bone block in a crafting table to make a bone meal as shown in the photo above.

Composters can also be used to make bone meal using food or another type of plant.
