Chlorine is a chemical element block in Minecraft Education Edition. It’s part of the Chemistry Update and lets you create compounds and explore real periodic table elements in your world.
What is Chlorine?
Chlorine is element 17 on the Periodic Table, with the symbol Cl. In Minecraft, it appears as a chemical element block that you can use to craft various compounds. The block is available in Minecraft Education Edition and can be enabled on Pocket Edition, Windows 10, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch by turning on Education Edition features.
How to Enable Chemistry Features
If you’re playing on Pocket Edition, Windows 10, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch, you need to enable Education Edition features in your world settings to access Chlorine and other chemical elements. When you toggle Education Edition mode, the game creates a copy of your world with [EDU] in the name. This is where your chemistry features work. Note that Education gameplay may change your world, so the copy keeps your original world safe.
