Minecraft:Material Reducer
More actions
Template:Message boxTemplate:Article other Template:Infobox block The material reducer is a Minecraft:block used in chemistry to learn about the natural world, by reducing Minecraft blocks to their component Minecraft:elements.
Obtaining
Material reducers can be obtained from the Minecraft:Creative inventory. They cannot be obtained in Survival without Minecraft:commands. in Template:Editions, the world must also have the "Education Edition" setting enabled.
Breaking
A material reducer can be mined with any tool, but Minecraft:pickaxes are faster.
Script error: No such module "breaking row".
Usage
Using the material reducer opens an interface of 10 Minecraft: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 fill up with the percentage of Minecraft:elements found in the broken down material.
Certain blocks such as soul sand and Minecraft:netherrack contain mysterious elements yet to be discovered. These are represented by an unknown element that displays as other elements, but with a question mark in place of a periodic table symbol. If you take out a few elements, but keep some in too, then the block you placed will have the missing model item, which you cannot place in the inventory.
When an element is taken from one of the output slots, the input slot gets cleared, and if there are elements in other output slots, the input slot becomes red and does not accept further input until all of the outputs are cleared.
Any block broken down in the material reducer gives out 100 different elements.

The formula mirrors the chemical compositions of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, the three main components of wood. |

These four elements are found in all life forms on Earth. |

The results depict dirt as a mixture of inorganic rocks and decaying organic material, although there is too little oxygen to form the compounds found in real-life dirt such as calcium carbonate. |

The results approximate SiO2, the chemical formula for silicon dioxide, the mineral quartz. Silicon and oxygen are the primary atomic elements of silicate minerals. Many of these real life rocks are composed of silicate minerals, not just SiO2. |
|

|
These elements are all commonly found in silicate minerals. The abundances of these elements are the average composition of earth's crust and close to the average composition of real life Andesite |

Similar to regular cobblestone. Mossy cobblestone has carbon to account for the moss. |

These results reflect the formulae of many real-life clays, although real-life clay contains much more oxygen. |
|
Template:Redr x67
Template:Redr x33 |
The results approximate H2O, the chemical formula for water. |
|

The results mirror the composition of coal, although real-life coal contains much less oxygen. |
|
Template:Redr x64

A mixture of pure (elemental) iron and silicate rock. In real life, iron ore usually contains oxidized iron, so the formula would contain much more oxygen. |
|

A mixture of pure gold and silicate rock. As gold is chemically inert, it is always naturally found in its elemental form. |
|
Template:Redr x64
Template:Redr x12
Template:Redr x24 |
A mixture of pure carbon and silicate rock. Diamond is composed of pure carbon, and takes billions of years to form deep underground. |

The formula roughly corresponds to lazurite, the main component of lapis lazuli. |

The formula implies that Redstone is made out of uranium methanide and an unknown element, thus it is radioactive. |

The formula roughly corresponds to beryl, the main component of emerald. |

The results mirror the composition of 100% pure iron. |
|

A mixture of silicate rock and mercury. Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) is red to orange in color, although these results contain too little oxygen for any of this compound to form. |
|

The approximate formula is Si4C. Although, it is similar to the mineral SiC (carborundum). |

Soul sand is mostly composed of an unknown element, due to its paranormal composition. |
|
|
This formula roughly corresponds to Iron (II) sulfate, an inorganic dark dye, which is not found in any species of real-life squid. |
|

|
The results approximate C6H12O6, the chemical formula for a simple sugar. |
|
|
The results approximate C7H4O, the chemical formula for charcoal. |
Note that amethyst-related blocks and items, copper-related blocks and items, mud, coarse dirt, raw ore blocks and items, deepslate ores, iron, gold, and diamond equipment, doors, and trapdoors cannot be put into a material reducer, despite them being related to blocks that can.
All compounds that can be made in the compound creator and lab table can also be reduced in the material reducer, yielding their respective ingredients.

Trivia
- There is currently a glitch in the material reducer's GUI: When the input slot becomes red, the "tubes" that are connected to it are sometimes rendered over the red square, which causes the image to flick between the normal square and the tubes.
