To make ice bombs in Minecraft, you’ll have to make sure you’re playing Education Edition to access chemistry equipment!

Making Sodium Acetate in Minecraft Education Edition

The formula for creating Sodium Acetate is C2H3NaO2. The letters represent the element, while the numbers represent how many you need. In short, you’ll need the following:

  • Carbon x2
  • Oxygen x2
  • Hydrogen x3
  • Sodium x1

Once you create these in your Element Constructor, use the Compound Creator to make some Sodium Acetate! Make sure you have four Sodium Acetate for every ice bomb you want to create, or else you won’t have enough to get the item from your lab table.

What Does the Ice Bomb Do?

After you get your hands on some Sodium Acetate and make your ice bomb, it’s time to start using it! You can throw an ice bomb on water, replacing it with a 3×3 ice square. It’s an easy way to get some ice and lets you create a path on top of oceans and rivers!
