Cut Copper Slab
minecraft:cut_copper_slabCut Copper Slab is a decorative half-height building block made by cutting copper blocks or waxed copper into slab form. Like other copper blocks, unwaxed slabs oxidize over time, shifting from bright orange-brown through green patina unless waxed with honeycomb.
Uses
- Chiseled Copper — Two cut copper slabs stacked in a crafting grid produce Chiseled Copper, giving builders another decorative copper texture option.
- Waxed Cut Copper Slab — Combining with honeycomb halts oxidation permanently, locking the slab at its current weathering stage.
Found In
- Trial Chambers — The waxed, fully oxidized variant generates naturally as part of trial chamber structures.
- Crafting or stonecutting — Made from 3 Cut Copper blocks (6 slabs) or 1 Block of Copper via the stonecutter (8 slabs).

FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Cut Copper Slab?
A stone pickaxe or better. Anything weaker breaks the block without dropping it.
Does Cut Copper Slab oxidize like copper blocks?
Yes, unless waxed. It progresses through the same four oxidation stages as other copper blocks over time.
Is Cut Copper Slab affected by Fortune?
No. It always drops exactly one slab per slab mined, regardless of Fortune level.
How do I stop it from oxidizing?
Apply honeycomb to wax it, which locks it at its current oxidation stage permanently.
