Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper

What is Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper in Minecraft?

A waxed oxidized cut copper block is a version of the cut copper block that is fully aged and will not change any further. It has the same tiled pattern as a regular cut copper block, but its color is a bright, verdigris green. The main purpose of waxing an oxidized cut 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 builds without having to worry about lightning accidentally cleaning it.

How to get Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper in Minecraft

You can only get a waxed oxidized cut copper block by crafting it or by waxing a block in the world. To craft it, you will need one oxidized cut copper block and one honeycomb. To get an oxidized cut copper block, you must first let a regular cut 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 cut 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 Cut Copper in Minecraft

The main use for a waxed oxidized cut copper block is for building and decoration. Its tiled pattern and fully green color are great for creating ancient looking roofs, floors, or for adding a weathered accent 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 to make it look newer.
