Waxed Copper Trapdoor is a functional door-like block crafted from copper ingots and sealed with honeycomb wax so it never oxidizes. It can be opened manually or triggered by a redstone signal like any other trapdoor.

FAQ

What tool do I need to mine Waxed Copper Trapdoor?

A stone pickaxe or better. Anything weaker destroys the block without a drop.

Does waxing stop it from oxidizing?

Yes. The honeycomb wax coating permanently freezes the trapdoor's current oxidation stage until an axe removes it.

Can it still be opened with redstone?

Yes. Waxing only prevents weathering — it still responds to levers, buttons, pressure plates, and redstone signals like any trapdoor.

Does it drop itself when mined?

Yes, it always drops one Waxed Copper Trapdoor as long as a stone pickaxe or better is used; Silk Touch and Fortune have no effect.
