This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition and Education Edition.

This page describes an education-related feature.

This feature is available only in Education Edition or when enabling the "Education Edition" option in Bedrock Edition.

A compound creator is a block used in chemistry. It allows over thirty compounds to be created by combining elements. This includes certain items which are available in the game normally.

Obtaining[]

A compound creator can be mined with a pickaxe. Mining without a pickaxe is slow, but the compound creator still drops as an item.

↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

Compound creators cannot be obtained in Survival without commands. In Bedrock Edition, the world must also have “Education Edition” enabled.

Usage[]

Using the compound creator opens up a 3×3 grid, where elements can be inserted to create compounds. By inputting the appropriate type and number of elements, the creator outputs the component in the slot to the right of the grid. All compound recipes are shapeless, and unlike the crafting table, the stack sizes are taken into consideration. Also, unlike most GUI blocks, the elements are not consumed.
