Element

Elements and isotopes are blocks which serve as an essential part of chemistry in Minecraft.

Obtaining
Elements and isotopes are primarily obtained by constructing them in the element constructor. This is done by moving the sliders or typing in numbers into the text inputs. The large display will show the selected numbers of particles arranged in an atomic structure, whether valid or not. If the atomic structure is a stable isotope, it can be taken out of the slot on the right side. A list of stable isotopes can be found below.

Several elements can also be obtained from a material reducer, which breaks down blocks into their component elements by percentage. This is the only way of obtaining the Unknown element; a mysterious element found in certain Minecraft blocks, such as soul sand and netherrack.

Usage
Elements can be placed as decorative blocks, or used as ingredients in crafting, brewing or lab table experiments. They can also be combined into compounds using the compound creator; see the compound page for a full list of available combinations.

Trivia

 * Element is the only block that by default uses a texture with a resolution greater than 16×16 (not counting animated blocks).
