Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper - Minecraft Block Guide

What is Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper in Minecraft?

A waxed oxidized chiseled copper block is a version of the chiseled copper block that is fully aged and will not change any further. It has the same intricate, flower like design, but its color is a bright, verdigris green. The main purpose of waxing an oxidized chiseled copper block is to permanently preserve this final stage of oxidation. This is perfect for builders who want a fully aged, ancient look for their copper details without having to worry about lightning accidentally cleaning it.

How to get Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper in Minecraft

You can only get a waxed oxidized chiseled copper block by crafting it or by waxing a block in the world. To craft it, you will need one oxidized chiseled copper block and one honeycomb. To get an oxidized chiseled copper block, you must first let a regular chiseled copper block sit out in the open air until it becomes fully green. Then, you can combine it with a honeycomb in a crafting grid. The easier way is to place a regular chiseled copper block and wait for it to turn completely green. Once it is fully oxidized, just right click on it with a honeycomb to wax it and lock in that color forever.

How to use Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper in Minecraft

The main use for a waxed oxidized chiseled copper block is for building and decoration. Its detailed pattern and fully green color are great for creating ancient looking floors, accent walls, or for adding a weathered detail to a build. Because it is waxed, it will never change, even if it is struck by lightning. If you ever change your mind and want to de age the block, you can remove the wax. To do this, simply right click on the waxed block with an axe. The wax will be scraped off, and you can then use the axe again to scrape off layers of oxidation.
