I like the idea of being able to use these blocks in survival, but I don't see the need for a 'concrete mix' etc. I'd much prefer it if you simply crafted the slabs then crafted the blocks out of two slabs.
It's just a way I thought of obtaining Concrete, I may change it depending on the users feedback.
But I don't see a problem in adding Concrete Mix, it would not be the item with the least number of uses in the game.
PD: You may want to take a look to Ouatcheur's idea which I think it's pretty neat as it mantains the game's consistency.
good for map makers and builders Support nuff said

If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 99% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 1% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens.
Good idea, I support. One thing, though. It's not "concrete". Concrete is too modern for Minecraft. That block you call concrete is actually two smooth stone slabs smashed together.
FYI: Romans used concrete extensively. Some of their concrete made using volcanic ash was mysteriously superior to modern concrete until quite recently.
From the wiki:
On a human time-scale, small usages of concrete go back for thousands of years. The ancient Nabatea culture was using materials roughly analogous to concrete at least eight thousand years ago, some structures of which survive to this day.[6][/sup]
Concrete additives have been used since 6500BC by the Nabataea traders or Bedouins who occupied and controlled a series of oases and developed a small empire in the regions of southern Syria and northern Jordan. They later discovered the advantages of hydraulic lime—that is, cement that hardens underwater—and by 700 BC, they were building kilns to supply mortar for the construction of rubble-wall houses, concrete floors, and underground waterproof cisterns.
In both Roman and Egyptian times it was re-discovered that adding volcanic ash to the mix allowed it to set underwater. Similarly, the Romans knew that adding horse hair made concrete less liable to crack while it hardened, and adding blood made it more frost-resistant.[21][/sup]

What I wish is that concrete would flow like lava or water when placed and then harden.
I currently use lava, then water to get a similar building effect that produces cobblestone structures. Very effective in skygrid! 256 high cobblestone towers from one bucket of lava and water-- and reusable.

this would be really useful for building (i used to build from those by using the give command)
maybe adding the all side piston?
the piston thing is what i was waiting for from a long time :l

I've already made this as part of my mod. They are currently Creative-only, but they're still there.
Please read THIS before making a suggestion
And support the ability to add paintings and records!

Well, I think I found what I'LL be in the after life. <3 Goats for life.
I'm actually coding a mod implementing this.

If I had knew how many things you had to post before getting the 'Obsidian Miner' title, my username would be Tree_Puncher874...
do /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:double_stone_slab 9
or
/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:double_stone_slab 10
try it and see what it does!
Hint- it has something to do with this thread.
I really don't know what to put here...

I'm just a very boring person.
I don't think it works in 1.8 anymore
no, it does! try it!
also works with logs- do /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:log 15
I really don't know what to put here...
Oh, I thought they had been removed from the game since 1.8.
It's nice that we still can get them using command blocks.
