What is Waxed Copper Grate in Minecraft?
A waxed copper grate is a version of the copper grate that will never change color. It has the same bright, metallic orange appearance as a brand new copper grate. The main purpose of waxing a copper grate is to permanently preserve its color. Regular copper grates will slowly turn green over time when exposed to the air, but a waxed copper grate will stay a shiny orange forever. This is perfect for builders who want to use the beautiful orange color of new copper for their decorative grates without having to worry about it aging and turning green.
How to get Waxed Copper Grate in Minecraft
You can only get a waxed copper grate by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting process is very simple. You will need one regular copper grate and one honeycomb. To get a copper grate, you need to craft one from four blocks of copper. To get a honeycomb, you need to use shears on a full beehive. Once you have your materials, you can combine them in a crafting grid. Just place the copper grate and the honeycomb anywhere in the grid to create one waxed copper grate. You can also wax a copper grate that has already been placed in the world by right clicking on it with a honeycomb.
How to use Waxed Copper Grate in Minecraft
The main use for a waxed copper grate is for building and decoration. Its grid pattern and bright, metallic orange color are great for creating decorative floors, windows, or for adding a warm, industrial accent to a build. Because it is waxed, it will never oxidize, so you can be sure that your build will always look exactly the way you designed it. If you ever change your mind and want the block to start aging, you can remove the wax. To do this, simply right click on the waxed copper grate with an axe. The wax will be scraped off, and the block will start to turn green over time.
