How to create a lightsaber in Minecraft Education Edition

To make a lightsaber in Minecraft Education Edition, you will need the following chemical compound materials.

  • 20 Carbon

Start by placing the Polyethylene on the right and left rows going down. Next, place the dye in the middle slot, the Luminol in the bottom slot, and the Hydrogen Peroxide in the top slot. After you finish, you will create a lightsaber (glowstick) in Minecraft Education Edition.

Can you make a lightsaber in Minecraft Java Edition & Bedrock Edition?

Unfortunately, compounds do not exist in the Java edition, meaning you can't use chemicals to create glow st... I mean, lightsabers, ice bombs, and other cool things. If you're playing Bedrock Edition, you'll need to activate the Enable Cheats option and then enable the Education Edition option before creating your world. Now, you can become a true Minecraft scientist!
