This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a compound called Sodium Acetate (from the Chemistry update) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, Sodium Acetate 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 Sodium Acetate.
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 Sodium Acetate
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft the compound called Sodium Acetate:
3 Hydrogen 2 Carbon 2 Oxygen 1 Sodium
How to craft Sodium Acetate
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 Sodium Acetate
In the Compound Creator menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 grid. To make Sodium Acetate, place 2 Carbon, 3 Hydrogen, 1 Sodium and 2 Oxygen in the 3×3 grid.
When crafting Sodium Acetate, you can place the elements anywhere in the grid and you will get the same result. In this example, we have placed 2 Carbon, 3 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 Sodium Acetate which has the chemical formula of C2H3NaO2.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct elements, the Sodium Acetate will appear in the output box on the right.
3. Move the Sodium Acetate to Inventory
Once you have crafted Sodium Acetate, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made the compound called Sodium Acetate in Minecraft!
