Mercury in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains all about the element block called Mercury with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, Mercury is a chemical element block that has a symbol of Hg and an atomic number of 80. It is the 80th element in the Periodic Table of Elements. Mercury is available in the Chemistry Update for Minecraft Education Edition and has also been added to Minecraft Pocket Edition, Windows 10, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch (if you enable the Education Edition chemistry features in your world).

Let's learn about Mercury in Minecraft.

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".
