Description

Exposed cut copper is popular in themed builds such as ports old factories and memorials where a green patina is desirable. The gradual change of copper over time can be used by builders as a design tool so that parts of a structure look older than others in order to tell a story about the place. Overall the block offers a clean cut shape with aged character and it is a flexible choice for players who want a metal surface that reads as mature and natural without extra detailing.
What is Exposed Cut Copper?

Where to find Exposed Cut Copper
Exposed cut copper does not generate naturally in the world. It becomes exposed when you place cut copper blocks and allow them to weather in the open air. Builders who want the look without waiting can select the exposed state in creative mode or use commands and editing tools on servers. In survival play you usually craft the cut copper and then let the material sit in the world until it reaches the exposed state. This means you will find exposed pieces mainly in player built structures rather than in random terrain.
How to get Exposed Cut Copper
To get exposed cut copper you first craft copper blocks from copper ingots and then cut those blocks into cut copper using the crafting interface. Place the cut copper blocks out in the open where they will be exposed to the air and over time they will age to the exposed state. If you prefer not to wait you can take the exposed cut copper directly from creative mode or use server commands to spawn the block. For world builders the common path is to craft the cut blocks and then let nature do the rest as part of the building process.
