In Minecraft, Sugar is one of the compounds that you can craft using the compound creator.

Let's explore how to make the compound called Sugar.

TIP: To enable the Education Edition chemistry features in Minecraft PE, Windows 10, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch, toggle the Education Edition option in your world settings. Because Education gameplay may break your world, the game will make a copy of your world starting with [EDU]. This is the world that will contain the new Chemistry "features".

When crafting Sugar, you can place the elements anywhere in the grid and you will get the same result. In this example, we have placed 6 Carbon, 12 Hydrogen and 6 Oxygen in the second row.
