Waxed Weathered Copper Grate - Minecraft Block Guide

What is Waxed Weathered Copper Grate in Minecraft?

A waxed weathered copper grate is a version of the copper grate that is partially aged and will not change any further. It has the same grid like pattern as a regular copper grate, but with a brownish green color. The main purpose of waxing a weathered copper grate is to permanently preserve this specific stage of oxidation. Regular copper grates will continue to turn greener over time, but a waxed block will stay in this weathered state forever. This is perfect for builders who want a moderately aged, antique look for their copper details.

How to get Waxed Weathered Copper Grate in Minecraft

You can only get a waxed weathered copper grate by crafting it or by waxing a block in the world. To craft it, you will need one weathered copper grate and one honeycomb. To get a weathered copper grate, you must first let a regular copper grate sit out in the open air until it reaches the second stage of oxidation. Then, you can combine it with a honeycomb in a crafting grid. The easier way is to place a regular copper grate and wait for it to turn the right color. Once it looks brownish green, just right click on it with a honeycomb to wax it and lock in that color.

How to use Waxed Weathered Copper Grate in Minecraft

The main use for a waxed weathered copper grate is for building and decoration. Its grid pattern and moderately aged color are great for creating antique looking vents, windows, or for adding a warm, weathered accent to a build. Because it is waxed, it will never oxidize further, so you can be sure that your build will always have that perfect, moderately aged look. If you ever change your mind and want the block to continue aging or to clean it, 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 the block will be free to change again.
