What is Actinium in Minecraft?
Actinium is one of the chemical element blocks you can use in Minecraft Education Edition. It’s element 89 on the periodic table and shows up as “Ac” with an atomic number of 89. You can find it in Education Edition, Pocket Edition, Windows 10, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch if you enable the chemistry features.
This guide shows you where to find Actinium, how to get it with commands, and all the technical details you need.
How to Enable Chemistry Features
Actinium and other element blocks only appear when you turn on Education Edition features. Here’s how:
- Open your world settings
- Find the Education Edition toggle and turn it on
- Minecraft will create a new copy of your world with “[EDU]” at the start of the name
- Your original world stays safe and unchanged
This only works in Minecraft Education Edition, Pocket Edition, Windows 10, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. If you break something with education gameplay, your original world is still there.
Finding Actinium in Creative Mode
Minecraft Education Edition
In the Creative Inventory menu, Actinium appears in different places depending on your version:
| Platform | Version | Location in Creative Menu |
|---|---|---|
| Education Edition | 1.4.0 – 1.14.31 | Construction |
| Education Edition | 1.17.30 | Items |
Actinium Item ID and Name
If you’re playing on Pocket Edition, here’s the information you need for commands and mods:
| Item Name | Minecraft ID | Data Value | Max Stack | Platform | Versions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Actinium | minecraft:element_89 |
0 | 64 | PE | 1.4.0 – 1.20.0 |
The Minecraft ID is what you use in commands. The data value identifies the block type. Most items in Minecraft stack up to 64, and Actinium does too. If you’re using mods, some might change the stack size.
Give Command for Actinium
Use this command to give yourself Actinium in Minecraft Pocket Edition 1.12.0 and higher:
/give @p element_89 1 0
This gives you one Actinium block with a data value of 0. You can change the number to get more blocks at once.
