Rutherfordium is one of the element blocks you can find in Minecraft Education Edition. It’s the 104th element on the periodic table and shows up as a chemical building block you can use in creative worlds.
What is Rutherfordium?
Rutherfordium (Rf) is element 104 on the periodic table. In Minecraft, it’s a solid block that represents this real-world element. You can only get it by enabling Education Edition chemistry features in your world. Once you turn it on, Rutherfordium becomes available in your creative inventory and creative mode.
This block is part of the Chemistry Update for Minecraft Education Edition. If you’re playing on Pocket Edition, Windows 10, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch, you can access it by turning on the education chemistry options in your world settings.
Enabling Chemistry Features
To use Rutherfordium and other element blocks, you need to enable Education Edition chemistry. Here’s how:
- Open your world settings
- Find the “Education Edition” option
- Toggle it ON
- The game makes a copy of your world starting with [EDU] so chemistry doesn’t break your original world
- Load that [EDU] world to access element blocks
Note: This works on Education Edition, Pocket Edition, Windows 10, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
