One of the core components of gameplay on MCLabs is the crafting of chemical compounds from raw chemicals. The Chem Lab is the central compound crafting system, providing access to unlock new compound formulas, craft recipes, and purify your crafted compounds.

To get started, you can use the command /chemlab to open the Chem Lab GUI. From here you can complete all Chem Lab actions and navigate to any subpages. Read on in the sections below to learn more about each part of the Chem Lab!

Chem Lab Basics

Unlocking Formulas

Each base chem has a set of compounds that can be crafted within the Chem Lab GUI. However, in order to craft these compounds, you must first unlock their formulas.

Formulas are unlocked by ranking up on the server.

  • See the [ranks|ranks] page for what ranks provide formula unlocks
  • You can see how many formula unlocks you have available by hovering over the nether star in the Chem Lab GUI
  • You cannot craft a compound in Chem Lab unless its formula has been unlocked

Crafting Recipes

Chem Lab Energy

Chem Lab Purity

The Chem Lab Purity system allows you to purify crafted compounds in order to increase their multipliers. There are three main purity branches:

  • Value - How much a compound sells for at the dealer
  • Progress - How much prestige progress the compound gives towards prestige unlocks
  • Score - How much score the compound gives towards leaderboards, events, and missions

How Purity Works

Each chem has a three-number format that represents its purity levels!

For example: Glompkinide-2-0-3

  • 2 → Level 2 Value Purity
  • 0 → No Progress Purity
  • 3 → Level 3 Score Purity
You can access the Chem Purity Manager from within /chemlab.

Using the Chem Purity System

Using the Chem Lab Purity system is simple! To navigate to the configuration page, first open the Chem Lab GUI with /chemlab and then click on the Chem Purity potion at the top-right. This opens the Chem Purity Manager where you can:

  • See and adjust current values for each purity branch
  • See the cost-per-craft for your current purity levels
  • Deposit purity elements to be used when crafting


You can also use the command /lab purity <0-3> <0-3> <0-3> to manually set your purity values!

Note that you must unlock the chem compound recipe before crafting it. See the Ranks page for what ranks provide formula unlocks.

Purity Multiplier Effects

Each level of purity for a given branch has a multiplier effect when sold at a dealer:

Purity Boost Rates
Purity Type Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Value 1.00x 1.15x 1.30x 1.50x
Progress 1.00x 1.15x 1.30x 1.50x
Score 1.00x 1.15x 1.30x 1.50x
