Compounds are a type of item used in chemistry, which are created from combinations of various elements.

Obtaining

Compounds cannot be obtained in the creative inventory. They are only obtained by creating them in the compound creator. This is done by inserting a certain number of elements corresponding to the compound's chemical formula.

Natural compounds

Natural compounds are compounds which can be obtained naturally in Minecraft.

Icon	Compound	Chemical formula	Natural source	Method	Notes
	Charcoal	74	Wood	Smelting	The chemical formula C7H4O is sometimes used to describe the approximate composition of charcoal.
	Ink	4	Squids	Killing Squid	FeSO4 is the chemical formula of iron(II) sulfate or ferrous sulfate, normally found complexed with water as a salt with the formula FeSO4·xH2O, and has been used in the manufacture of iron gall ink and other inks for centuries.
	Sugar	6126	Sugar Canes	Harvesting and crafting	C6H12O6 is the chemical formula of glucose and fructose, as well as a number of other simple sugars (common table sugar is instead sucrose, a complex sugar made of glucose and fructose with the chemical formula C12H22O11).
	Water	2	Water	Picking up in a bucket or glass bottle	One of the easiest to obtain.

Garbage

Garbage is considered a "compound", but the only way to produce it is to activate the Lab Table when its inputs aren't a valid recipe. It has no uses.

Usage

Certain compounds are used as ingredients in crafting or lab table experiments. Natural compounds have uses outside of chemistry, detailed in their respective articles.
