Obtaining Edit

Compound creators can be obtained from the Creative inventory. They cannot be obtained in Survival without commands. In Bedrock Edition, the world must also have the "Education Edition" setting enabled.

Breaking Edit

A compound creator can be mined with any tool, but pickaxes are faster.

Usage Edit

Main article: Compound

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 with most blocks with an interface, the elements are not consumed.
