This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a compound called Soap (from the Chemistry update) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, Soap 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 Soap.
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 Soap
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft the compound called Soap:
First, open your compound creator so that you have the Compound Creator menu that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make Soap
In the Compound Creator menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 grid. To make Soap, place 18 Carbon, 35 Hydrogen, 1 Sodium and 2 Oxygen in the 3×3 grid.
When crafting Soap, you can place the elements anywhere in the grid and you will get the same result. In this example, we have placed 18 Carbon, 35 Hydrogen and 1 Sodium in the second row and 2 Oxygen in the third row. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for the compound called Soap which has the chemical formula of C18H35NaO2.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct elements, the Soap will appear in the output box on the right.
3. Move the Soap to Inventory
Once you have crafted Soap, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made the compound called Soap in Minecraft!
