What is Oxidized Cut Copper in Minecraft?
An oxidized cut copper block is a decorative block that represents the final stage of aging for a cut copper block. It has the same tiled pattern, but its color has completely changed from orange to a bright, verdigris green. The main purpose of this block is to be a decorative building material that looks ancient and weathered. Players use oxidized cut copper to build the roofs of old buildings, create aged statues, or to add a splash of unique green color to their builds. It is the final step in the copper family's unique oxidation feature, allowing for dynamic and realistic looking structures that tell a story of time passing.
How to get Oxidized Cut Copper in Minecraft
There are two main ways to get an oxidized cut copper block. The first way is to let a regular cut copper block fully oxidize. To do this, craft a cut copper block and place it in the world where it is exposed to the air. Over a long period of time, it will naturally change color through several stages until it becomes fully green. The second way is to craft it directly. To do this, you will need four oxidized copper blocks. You can get these by letting regular copper blocks age. Once you have the blocks, place them in a 2 by 2 square on a crafting table to get four oxidized cut copper blocks. A much better way is to use a stonecutter. You can put one oxidized copper block in a stonecutter to get four oxidized cut copper blocks.
How to use Oxidized Cut Copper in Minecraft
The main use for an oxidized cut copper block is for building and decoration. Its fully green, weathered look is perfect for creating the roofs of old cathedrals, ancient statues, or for adding detail to a steampunk build. A very important feature of all copper blocks is that you can stop them from aging. If you like the look of the oxidized cut copper block, you can use a honeycomb on it to wax it. A waxed block will never change its color. You can also use an axe on the block to scrape off the oxidation, which will revert it to the previous stage (weathered). You can do this multiple times to get it back to its original orange color. A lightning strike will also clean it completely.

Stonecutting is often more efficient for smaller quantities! While crafting recipes typically require multiple items or specific patterns, the stonecutter can create many decorative blocks using just one base block. This makes it perfect when you only need a few items or want to save on materials.
