Description
A cut copper slab is a half height block made from cut copper that lets builders create refined metal surfaces while saving space and materials. The slab keeps the same smooth copper texture but only takes up half the height of a normal block which makes it ideal for layered floors steps and decorative banding. It is especially useful when you want to cover large areas with a metal looking surface without using full block thickness or when you want subtle stepped details across a facade. Over time the slab will oxidize like other copper based blocks unless the player waxes it to preserve the fresh metal color. Because slabs are stackable two slabs make a full block which gives builders flexibility in shaping and in layering materials. Use cut copper slabs to form low benches tap surfaces window sills and trim lines that read well in both close up and long distance views. They also work well in combination with cut copper stairs to make smooth corner transitions and with full blocks to create inlays and edging. The half height nature of slabs makes precise furniture and flooring design possible which is why players working on interiors and industrial exteriors value this piece. Overall cut copper slabs are a flexible metal finishing piece that helps builders craft detailed and efficient metal surfaces and accents.
What is Cut Copper Slab?
Cut copper slab is a half height variant of cut copper that provides a refined metal surface in a smaller profile. It functions like other slabs and can be combined to recreate full blocks. Slabs are versatile for small scale furniture and for large scale cladding.
Where to find Cut Copper Slab
Cut copper slabs are player crafted and do not generate naturally. You will find them in player builds and in creative inventories. They are a crafted option used by builders to reduce thickness and add detail in metal themed construction.
How to get Cut Copper Slab
To get cut copper slabs craft them using cut copper blocks placed in the crafting grid to yield slabs. Stack two slabs to return to a full cut copper block or use them singly for low profile surfaces. Use a pickaxe when harvesting slabs as it speeds collection and allows easy relocation.
