This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a compound called Cerium Chloride (from the Chemistry update) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, Cerium Chloride is one of the compounds that you can craft using the compound creator. It is available in the Chemistry Update for Minecraft Education Edition and has also been added to Minecraft Pocket Edition, Windows 10, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch (if you enable the Education Edition chemistry features in your world).
Let’s explore how to make the compound called Cerium Chloride.
TIP: To enable the Education Edition chemistry features in Minecraft PE, Windows 10, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch, toggle the Education Edition option in your world settings. Because Education gameplay may break your world, the game will make a copy of your world starting with [EDU]. This is the world that will contain the new Chemistry “features”.

How to craft Cerium Chloride

2. Add Items to make Cerium Chloride
In the Compound Creator menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 grid. To make Cerium Chloride, place 1 Cerium and 3 Chlorine in the 3×3 grid.
When crafting Cerium Chloride, you can place the elements anywhere in the grid and you will get the same result. In this example, we have placed 1 Cerium and 3 Chlorine in the second row.
