Oxidized Copper Bulb
minecraft:oxidized_copper_bulbOxidized Copper Bulb is the fully weathered stage of the copper bulb, a redstone-powered light source that toggles between lit and unlit on a single pulse instead of needing continuous power. Full oxidation dims its light output to the dimmest of the four stages.
Uses
- Redstone Toggle Light — A single redstone pulse flips it between lit and unlit and it holds that state, giving flicker-free lighting for builds themed around aged, teal-green copper.
- Comparator Signal — A comparator reads a lit Oxidized Copper Bulb as signal strength 15, the same as any other oxidation stage.
Found In
- Trial Chambers — Generates lit and waxed at the oxidized stage in some trial chamber structures.
- Weathering — An unwaxed Copper Bulb left exposed long enough progresses through Exposed and Weathered before reaching Oxidized.

FAQ
What tool do I need to mine an Oxidized Copper Bulb?
A stone pickaxe or better; anything weaker breaks it with no drop.
How bright is an Oxidized Copper Bulb compared to a fresh one?
Light output falls from 15 when new to 4 once fully oxidized, the dimmest of the four stages.
Does it still need constant redstone power to stay lit?
No. It only needs a momentary pulse to toggle state, then stays lit or unlit until pulsed again, regardless of oxidation stage.
Can I stop it from oxidizing further or reverse it?
Apply honeycomb to wax it and lock the current stage in place. An axe scrapes off one oxidation stage per use, and lightning strikes fully de-oxidize it.
