Waxed Oxidized Copper Bulb
minecraft:waxed_oxidized_copper_bulbWaxed Oxidized Copper Bulb is a redstone-toggled light source locked at the dim, fully-oxidized stage by a honeycomb coating. A redstone pulse flips it on or off and it stays in that state without continuous power, unlike a lamp.
Uses
- Redstone Toggle Lighting — Wired into redstone circuits as a latching light: one pulse turns it on, the next turns it off, useful for switches and compact T flip-flop designs that a comparator can read.
Found In
- Crafted with Blaze Rod and Redstone — Craft from a matching block of copper, a blaze rod, and redstone dust, then wax with honeycomb.
- Trial Chambers — Waxed, lit copper bulbs in random oxidation stages generate naturally inside trial chambers.

FAQ
Does it need continuous redstone power to stay lit?
No. A single pulse toggles it on or off, and it holds that state until the next pulse — no constant power required.
How bright is the oxidized bulb?
Light level 4, the dimmest of the four oxidation stages (normal is 15, exposed 12, weathered 8, oxidized 4).
Will waxing change how bright it is?
No, waxing only prevents further oxidation; it does not change the current light level.
What tool do I need to mine it?
A stone pickaxe or better; mining by hand yields no drop.
