What is Exposed Copper in Minecraft?
An exposed copper block is a solid, metallic block that represents the first stage of aging for a block of copper. Its color is a slightly duller, more muted orange compared to a brand new copper block, with a few small patches of green starting to appear. The main purpose of this block is to be a decorative building material that shows a small amount of weathering. Players use exposed copper to add a subtle sense of age to their builds, making them look like they have been exposed to the elements for a little while. It is a key part of the copper family's unique oxidation feature, allowing for more dynamic and realistic looking structures.
How to get Exposed Copper in Minecraft
There are two main ways to get an exposed copper block. The first way is to let a regular block of copper oxidize. To do this, craft a block of copper from nine copper ingots and place it in the world where it is exposed to the air. Over time, it will naturally change color and become an exposed copper block. The second way is to craft it directly. To do this, you will need nine exposed copper ingots. However, you cannot get exposed ingots. The only way is to craft an exposed block of copper from nine regular copper ingots and then wait for it to oxidize. You can also find exposed copper blocks in some underwater ruins, where they have been aging for a long time.
How to use Exposed Copper in Minecraft
The main use for an exposed copper block is for building and decoration. Its slightly weathered look is perfect for adding a touch of realism to your builds. You can use it to build a roof or statue that looks like it is just beginning to age. A very important feature of all copper blocks is that you can stop them from aging further. If you like the look of the exposed copper block, you can use a honeycomb on it to wax it. A waxed block will never change its color again. You can also use an axe on the block to scrape off the light layer of oxidation, which will turn it back into a regular, bright orange block of copper. A lightning strike will also clean it.
