Waxed Weathered Copper Bulb
minecraft:waxed_weathered_copper_bulbThe Waxed Weathered Copper Bulb is a redstone-toggled light source permanently locked at the weathered (green-tinted) oxidation stage thanks to a honeycomb coating. It emits light only while lit and flips between lit and unlit states each time it receives a redstone pulse, acting as a compact toggle latch.
Uses
- Redstone toggle light — Wire a lever, button, or pulse circuit to a bulb to switch it on and off; a comparator can read its lit state as a signal strength of 15.
Found In
- Trial Chambers — Generates naturally in vaulted and copper-themed rooms, often already waxed at various oxidation stages including weathered.
- Crafted from Weathered Copper — Craft 4 unwaxed Weathered Copper Bulbs from a Weathered Copper block, a blaze rod, and redstone dust, then apply honeycomb to wax them.

FAQ
Does the waxed weathered copper bulb still oxidize further?
No. Waxing with honeycomb locks it at the weathered stage permanently — it will never progress to fully oxidized.
What tool do I need to mine it?
A stone pickaxe or better. Mining with wood or bare hands destroys the block without dropping it.
Can I remove the wax later?
No, waxed copper blocks cannot be un-waxed, but an axe can still be used before waxing to scrape off oxidation stages.
Does it conduct redstone signals?
No, the bulb itself is not conductive, but it responds to adjacent redstone power and a comparator can read whether it is lit.
