This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a compound called Lithium Hydride (from the Chemistry update) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, Lithium Hydride 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 Lithium Hydride.
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”.

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