Elements and isotopes are blocks that are essential to chemistry in Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education.

Obtaining

Breaking

An element can be broken instantly with any item, always dropping itself.

Element constructor

Elements and isotopes are primarily obtained by constructing them in the element constructor. This is done by moving the sliders or typing in numbers into the text inputs. The large display shows the selected numbers of particles arranged in an atomic structure, whether valid or not. If the atomic structure is a stable isotope, it can be taken out of the slot on the right side. A list of stable isotopes can be found below.

Material reducer

Several elements can also be obtained from a material reducer, which breaks down blocks into their component elements by percentage. This is the only way of obtaining the Unknown element; a mysterious element found in certain Minecraft blocks, such as soul sand and netherrack.

Because the element constructor and material reducer cannot be obtained in Survival without commands, and the world must have “Education Edition” enabled, the same is true for elements. In Bedrock Edition, the “Education Edition” option also allows elements to be obtained directly via commands or Creative inventory.

Reason: The atomic masses do not map correctly to the isotopes. Table should be rewritten using {{#expr:}} to calculate the mass as the sum of protons and neutrons.

'''Flint and steel''' is a [[tool]] used to create [[fire]] or to ignite certain blocks, structures and mobs.

== Usage ==
=== Igniting ===

When {{control|use|text=used}} on the space above any solid top surface, on any side of any flammable block or any side of any [[obsidian]] block within a valid unlit [[nether portal]] frame regardless of if there is a solid top surface available, the flint and steel places a [[fire]] there.

Flint and steel can be used to light unlit [[campfire]]s, [[candle]]s and [[cake|cakes with candles]].

Flint and steel can be used to light [[nether portal]]s, as any fire existing within an appropriate [[obsidian]] frame will instantly be replaced with [[Nether Portal (block)|nether portal blocks]] that occupy the entirety of the frame.

Using flint and steel on [[TNT]] ignites it. The explosion damage dealt by TNT ignited with flint and steel in this specific way counts as the player's attack. If the player is {{Control|sneak|text=sneaking}} a fire is instead placed on the side of the TNT the flint and steel was used on.

A flint and steel can be used on a [[creeper]] to force it to explode. Explosions initiated in this way cannot be cancelled.

When powered, a [[dispenser]] containing flint and steel can place fires or ignite relevant blocks such as TNT or campfires in the space directly in front of it. This reduces the flint and steel's durability. A dispenser containing a flint and steel cannot detonate creepers.

=== Enchantments ===

Flint and steel can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==

* In [[Adventure mode]], flint and steel cannot light fires, nor can it ignite nether portals (unless it has the tag {{cd|CanPlaceOn:obsidian}}). However, it can still ignite TNT and creepers.
* The name "Flint and Steel" may be misleading and is inaccurate considering the game doesn’t have and possibly will have [[Java Edition mentioned features#Steel|steel]] in the game and it's crafted with iron instead. This is similar to the [[Old Growth Taiga|Old Growth Pine Taiga]], as there are no pines in the game and they have [[Spruce|Spruce Trees]] instead.
**In real life, Iron can’t be used as a fire striker, so Mojang had to rename it to Flint and Steel so it makes more sense. This explains why it is called Flint and Steel, but there is no steel in the game.
**Steel was mentioned by Mojang, as a “stronger” iron, but shortly rejected, and there are no currently no plans to add it to the game.
* Flint and steel cannot light end portals.
* Flint and Steel is the first item to mention another item that is not in the game.
*In the April Fools Snapshot, [[Java Edition 23w13a or b]], one of the possible voted was “Flint and Steel can ignite any block”.

Issues

Issues relating to "Element" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

  • Element is the only block that by default uses a texture with a resolution greater than 16×16 (not counting animated blocks).
  • Many of the "stable" isotopes provided by the element constructor are radioactive in real life. For example, Technetium has no stable isotopes in real life, even though it has three stable isotopes in Minecraft.
  • If one block is considered to be equal to one meter cubed, and element blocks are considered to be composed of solely the element they are named after, then one block of osmium would have a mass of 22,590 kilograms, making it the heaviest real-world matter available in vanilla Minecraft.
    • Hassium, however, is predicted to have a density almost twice that of osmium, with a block of hassium weighing 40,700 kilograms.
  • In Bedrock Edition, the elements use the British spellings: sulphur, aluminium, and caesium.
