In the second row, there should be 1 sand in the first box, 1 pink dye in the second box, and 1 sand in the third box. In the third row, there should be 1 gravel in the first box, 1 sand in the second box, and 1 gravel in the third box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for pink concrete powder.
