Weathered Copper Bulb
minecraft:weathered_copper_bulbThe Weathered Copper Bulb is the third oxidation stage of the redstone-toggled copper light source, glowing at a dimmer light level than its unoxidized or exposed forms. It toggles on or off from a single redstone pulse and needs no continuous power to stay lit. Crafted from a block of copper, a blaze rod, and redstone dust, it can be waxed with honeycomb to freeze it permanently at this weathered, dimmer state.
FAQ
How bright is a Weathered Copper Bulb compared to a fresh one?
Its light level is dimmer than the unoxidized or exposed stages; brightness drops step by step through unoxidized, exposed, weathered, and oxidized.
Does it need constant redstone power to stay lit?
No. A single redstone pulse toggles it on or off, and it keeps emitting light without any continuous signal until pulsed again.
How do I restore its full brightness?
Scrape it with an axe to remove oxidation, stepping it back toward the exposed and then unoxidized stage and its higher light level.
Can a comparator read its lit state?
Yes. A comparator facing a lit copper bulb outputs a signal strength of 15 regardless of its oxidation stage, useful for compact redstone logic.
