Unknown Element – Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains all about the unknown element block (called ???) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, the unknown element block has a name of ???, a symbol of ? and an atomic number of ?. It is an element in the Periodic Table of Elements whose atomic structure can not be observed in the element constructor. 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 learn about the unknown element block in Minecraft.
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”.
