Usage
Like normal columns added by the Columns mod, concrete and terracotta columns can be crafted in the crafting table (using an I shape) or the stonecutter. In addition, terracotta columns can be crafted into a dyed variant by placing 8 of that dye around a single terracotta column.
Other than the texture, concrete and terracotta columns act and appear the same as normal columns.
