Where Can Light Gray Concrete Be Found?

Light Gray Concrete does not generate naturally in the world and must be crafted by players. It is created by placing Light Gray Concrete Powder in contact with water, which causes it to harden into solid concrete. Light Gray Concrete Powder is crafted by combining light gray dye, sand, and gravel in a crafting table. Light gray dye can be obtained by mixing white and gray dye or by using flowers such as oxeye daisies or azure bluets. Sand is commonly found in beaches and deserts, while gravel is typically found in riverbeds and caves. More information about crafting concrete can be found in the Concrete article.
