Lab Table in Minecraft (Chemistry)

This Minecraft tutorial explains all about the Lab Table with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, the Lab Table is a Chemistry item that allows you to design your own experiments by combining substances and observing the results. 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 Lab Table 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".
