Material Reducer

The material reducer is a block used in chemistry to learn about the natural world, by reducing Minecraft blocks to their component elements.

Usage
Using the material reducer opens an interface of 10 inventory slots. The central slot at the top is the input, where blocks can be placed in order to break them down into their component parts. When this happens, the output slots will fill up with the percentage of elements found in the broken down material.

Certain blocks such as soul sand and netherrack contain mysterious elements yet to be discovered in our world. These are represented by an unknown element which displays similarly to other elements, but with a question mark in place of a periodic table symbol.

Data values
Material reducer has the ID name, which it shares with element constructor, compound creator and lab table, differentiated by its "block state".
