What is Waxed Copper Bulb in Minecraft?
A waxed copper bulb is a version of the copper bulb that will never change color. It has the same bright, metallic orange appearance as a brand new copper bulb. The main purpose of waxing a copper bulb is to permanently preserve its color. Regular copper bulbs will slowly turn green over time when exposed to the air, but a waxed copper bulb will stay a shiny orange forever. This is perfect for builders who want to use the beautiful orange color of new copper for their lighting fixtures without having to worry about it aging and turning green.
How to get Waxed Copper Bulb in Minecraft
You can only get a waxed copper bulb by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting process is very simple. You will need one regular copper bulb and one honeycomb. To get a copper bulb, you need to craft one from three blocks of copper, a blaze rod, and a piece of redstone dust. To get a honeycomb, you need to use shears on a full beehive. Once you have your materials, you can combine them in a crafting grid. Just place the copper bulb and the honeycomb anywhere in the grid to create one waxed copper bulb. You can also wax a copper bulb that has already been placed in the world by right clicking on it with a honeycomb.
How to use Waxed Copper Bulb in Minecraft
The main use for a waxed copper bulb is as a decorative, permanent redstone lamp. It works just like a regular copper bulb, turning on and off when it receives a redstone pulse. However, because it is waxed, it will never oxidize, so its color will always stay the same. This is great for creating consistent and reliable lighting systems. If you ever change your mind and want the block to start aging, you can remove the wax. To do this, simply right click on the waxed copper bulb with an axe. The wax will be scraped off, and the block will start to turn green over time.
