FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Exposed Cut Copper?
A stone pickaxe or better. Mining with your hand or a wooden pickaxe destroys the block without dropping it.
Does it keep weathering after I place it?
Yes, unless waxed with honeycomb. Left untreated it continues weathering toward Weathered and then Oxidized Cut Copper.
Can I reverse the oxidation?
Yes. Scraping it with an axe removes one weathering stage, turning Exposed Cut Copper back into plain Cut Copper.
Is it affected by Silk Touch or Fortune?
No. It always drops itself as a single item regardless of enchantments.
