What is Oxidized Cut Copper Stairs in Minecraft?
Oxidized cut copper stairs are a stair shaped block that represents the final stage of aging for cut copper stairs. They have the same tiled pattern, but their color has completely changed from orange to a bright, verdigris green. The main purpose of this block is to be a functional stair and a decorative block that looks ancient and weathered. Players use oxidized cut copper stairs to create staircases and roofs that look like they have been exposed to the elements for a very long time. It is the final step in the copper family's unique oxidation feature, allowing for dynamic and realistic looking structures that tell a story.
How to get Oxidized Cut Copper Stairs in Minecraft
There are two main ways to get oxidized cut copper stairs. The first way is to let regular cut copper stairs fully oxidize. To do this, craft cut copper stairs and place them in the world where they are exposed to the air. Over a long period of time, they will naturally change color through several stages until they become fully green. The second way is to craft them directly. To do this, you will need six oxidized cut copper blocks. You can get these by letting regular cut copper blocks age. Once you have the blocks, place them in a stair shape on a crafting table to get four oxidized stairs. A much better way is to use a stonecutter. You can put one oxidized cut copper block in a stonecutter to get one oxidized cut copper stairs block.
How to use Oxidized Cut Copper Stairs in Minecraft
The main use for oxidized cut copper stairs is for building staircases and roofs with a fully weathered look. This is perfect for creating an ancient temple or a forgotten statue. 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 stairs, you can use a honeycomb on them to wax them. Waxed stairs will never change their color. You can also use an axe on the stairs to scrape off the oxidation, which will revert it to the previous stage (weathered). You can do this multiple times to get it back to its original orange color. 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.
