This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education. 

The lab table is a block used in chemistry to design one's own experiments by combining substances and observing the results.

Obtaining[]

Lab tables cannot be obtained in Survival without commands. In Bedrock Edition, the world must also have "Education Edition" enabled.

Breaking[]

A lab table can be mined using a pickaxe. Mining without a pickaxe is slow, but the lab table still drops as an item.

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

Usage[]

Using the lab table opens a 1×9 grid, where elements and compounds can be inserted to perform experiments. The locations of the items in the grid do not affect the outcome. When ready to conduct an experiment, clicking the Combine button initiates the process.

If the result is a viable product, the top images animate to indicate whether a liquid, gas, or solid has been produced. Shortly after, the menu closes, and the successful product appears on the table. If the combined materials did not create a viable product, the process results in a garbage item and one of few animations involving fire and/or explosions. In Bedrock Edition, the table sometimes catches fire when garbage is made.

* In real life, lapis lazuli is a blue gem that can be ground and processed into ultramarine pigment. Lapis lazuli pigment has been famously used in the production of illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, and cave paintings. [[Wikipedia:Lapis lazuli|See the Wikipedia article for more information]].
* Lapis lazuli is the only [[ore]] that can be used as a [[dye]]{{only|BE|short=1}} or making a dye.
* It is the only item that can be put in the second slot of an [[enchantment table]].

Issues[]

Issues relating to "Lab Table" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia[]

  • Even when two compounds that don't react when combined in real life (like water and salt, or multiple items of the same compound), when they are combined in the lab table, the fire and/or explosion effect still appears, creating a garbage item.
