Material Reducer Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains all about the material reducer with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, the material reducer is a Chemistry item that allows you to reduce a material to its component elements. It’s great way to learn about the natural world around you! The material reducer 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 material reducer 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”.
