What is Oxidized Cut Copper Slab in Minecraft?
An oxidized cut copper slab is a flat, half height block that represents the final stage of aging for a cut copper slab. It has the same tiled pattern, but its color has completely changed from orange to a bright, verdigris green. The main purpose of this block is to be a decorative building material that looks ancient and weathered. Players use oxidized cut copper slabs to create the roofs, floors, and other details of old buildings. It is the final step in the copper family's unique oxidation feature, allowing for dynamic and realistic looking structures that tell a story of time passing.
How to get Oxidized Cut Copper Slab in Minecraft
There are two main ways to get an oxidized cut copper slab. The first way is to let a regular cut copper slab fully oxidize. To do this, craft a cut copper slab and place it in the world where it is exposed to the air. Over a long period of time, it will naturally change color through several stages until it becomes fully green. The second way is to craft it directly. To do this, you will need three oxidized cut copper blocks. You can get these by letting regular cut copper blocks age. Once you have the blocks, place them in a horizontal row on a crafting table to get six oxidized cut copper slabs. A much better way is to use a stonecutter. You can put one oxidized cut copper block in a stonecutter to get two oxidized cut copper slabs.
How to use Oxidized Cut Copper Slab in Minecraft
The main use for an oxidized cut copper slab is for building and decoration. Its fully green, weathered look is perfect for creating the roof of an old cathedral or the floor of a forgotten temple. A very important feature of all copper blocks is that you can stop them from aging. If you like the look of the oxidized cut copper slab, you can use a honeycomb on it to wax it. A waxed slab will never change its color. You can also use an axe on the slab to scrape off the oxidation, which will revert it to the previous stage (weathered). This gives you complete control over the look of your copper builds.

Stonecutting is often more efficient for smaller quantities! While crafting recipes typically require multiple items or specific patterns, the stonecutter can create many decorative blocks using just one base block. This makes it perfect when you only need a few items or want to save on materials.
