How to make different chlorides in Minecraft

Torches are a cornerstone in every version of Minecraft, but Education and even Bedrock Edition (with Education Edition enabled in Settings) can purchase colored torches as well. These bring a much-appreciated visual variety to the popular lighting tool.

As with many creations in Minecraft: Education Edition, a little chemical experimentation can create compounds that players can use to create their colored torches. Specifically, Minecraft chemists need to create various chloride-based compounds and add them to torches in a normal craft menu.

To make these connections, players will need to access the Compound Build Block and use elements obtained from the Element Constructor and / or the Material Reduction Blocks.

When Minecraft players enter the Compound Creator, they have several input fields in which to combine elements. Depending on the color of the torch they want to make, budding Minecraft chemists will have to make different chlorides that can also be found in the real world. Below, players will find the different chlorides that can be created, their required elements and chemical formulas, and which torch color they can create:

Cerium Chloride (Blue Torch) – Requires a cerium element and three chlorine elements (CeCl3)
Mercury Chloride (Red Torch) – Requires one mercury element and two chlorine elements (HgCl2)
Potassium chloride (purple torch) – Requires a potassium element and a chlorine element (KCl)
Tungsten Chloride (Green Torch) – Requires one tungsten element and six chlorine elements (WCl6)

Once players have made their respective Minecraft connections, all they have to do is open up a crafting table menu and place their connection of their choice in the center slot of the grid while placing a torch underneath.

This will create one of the appropriate colored torches. If players want to mass-produce colored torches, they will have to go back to the element designer or the material reduction blocks and pile up the required elements. You’ll also need to collect tons of sticks and charcoal, of course, to make standard torches and convert them into their colorful variants.

Fortunately, collecting these items and materials should be pretty easy. All the materials needed are readily available, meaning players won’t have to stumble across dangerous or difficult areas to add a considerable amount of color to their decorations and lighting.

Chemistry and understanding the elements that make up our natural world is a huge part of Minecraft: Education Edition. One of the most visual aspects of this feature is the creation of compounds.

How do you make the chlorides?

The chloride ion /ˈklɔːraɪd/ is the anion (negatively charged ion) Cl⁻. It is formed when the element chlorine (a halogen) gains an electron or when a compound such as hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water or other polar solvents.

What are all the chlorides in Minecraft?

Chlorides.

How do you mix chemicals in Minecraft?

Use the Compound Creator by right clicking on it, just like a regular crafting table. Create compounds by adding the appropriate type and number of elements to the grid. The compound you have created will appear in the output box on the righthand side.
