Block of Copper
minecraft:copper_blockA block of copper is a compact storage block crafted from nine copper ingots that gradually oxidizes over time, passing through exposed, weathered, and oxidized stages with a growing verdigris appearance. Waxing it with honeycomb halts the process permanently.
FAQ
How do you craft a block of copper?
Arrange nine copper ingots in a 3x3 pattern on a crafting table to produce one block of copper.
How does copper oxidation work?
A block of copper progresses through four visual stages over time — copper, exposed, weathered, and oxidized — each adding more green discoloration.
How do you stop a copper block from oxidizing?
Apply a honeycomb to the block to wax it, which locks it at its current oxidation stage permanently.
Can oxidation be reversed?
Yes, scraping the block with an axe removes one oxidation stage or strips wax, and a lightning strike fully deoxidizes it instantly.
