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

In Minecraft, Lye 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 Lye.

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”.

Required Materials to make Lye

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft the compound called Lye:

1 Hydrogen
1 Oxygen
1 Sodium

How to craft Lye

1. Open the Compound Creator Menu

First, open your compound creator so that you have the Compound Creator menu that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make Lye

In the Compound Creator menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 grid. To make Lye, place 1 Sodium, 1 Oxygen and 1 Hydrogen in the 3×3 grid.

When crafting Lye, you can place the elements anywhere in the grid and you will get the same result. In this example, we have placed 1 Sodium, 1 Oxygen and 1 Hydrogen in the second row and 2 Oxygen in the third row. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for the compound called Lye which has the chemical formula of NaOH.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct elements, the Lye will appear in the output box on the right.

3. Move the Lye to Inventory

Once you have crafted Lye, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made the compound called Lye in Minecraft!
