Waxed Copper Trapdoor - Minecraft Block Guide | Properties, Recipe & Uses (2025)

What is Waxed Copper Trapdoor in Minecraft?

A waxed copper trapdoor is a version of the copper trapdoor that will never change color. It has the same bright, metallic orange appearance as a brand new copper trapdoor. The main purpose of waxing a copper trapdoor is to permanently preserve its color. Regular copper trapdoors will slowly turn green over time when exposed to the air, but a waxed copper trapdoor will stay a shiny orange forever. This is perfect for builders who want to use the beautiful orange color of new copper for their hatches and shutters without having to worry about it aging and turning green.

How to get Waxed Copper Trapdoor in Minecraft

You can only get a waxed copper trapdoor by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting process is very simple. You will need one regular copper trapdoor and one honeycomb. To get a copper trapdoor, you need to craft one from six 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 trapdoor and the honeycomb anywhere in the grid to create one waxed copper trapdoor. You can also wax a copper trapdoor that has already been placed in the world by right clicking on it with a honeycomb.

How to use Waxed Copper Trapdoor in Minecraft

The main use for a waxed copper trapdoor is as a decorative, permanent hatch. It works just like a regular copper trapdoor, opening and closing with a redstone signal. However, because it is waxed, it will never oxidize, so its color will always stay the same. This is great for creating consistent and reliable hatches for your builds. If you ever change your mind and want the trapdoor to start aging, you can remove the wax. To do this, simply right click on the waxed copper trapdoor with an axe. The wax will be scraped off, and the trapdoor will start to turn green over time.

My Story

How This All Started

So basically, I was playing Minecraft one night after a long day doing deliveries, and I was trying to remember what drops what and how to craft certain things. Every website I went to was either dead slow, missing loads of stuff, or just looked terrible. I thought "bloody hell, surely I can do better than this?"

By the way, this My Story section is something new I've only just started adding things here! Most of the site was actually built before I ever wrote this part. Now that the website is live, I'm running into problems galore! So if things look a bit rough or unfinished, bear with me I'm updating and adding as I go.

That was probably a mistake.

A half finished story, oh well. I'll keep adding more as I go!

Learning the Hard Way

I knew absolutely nothing about making websites. Like, properly nothing. I didn't even know what PHP was. But I'm stubborn as anything, so I just started watching YouTube tutorials and reading random stuff online while I was on my breaks.

Turns out building a database is harder than it looks. Who knew? I've probably broken this thing more times than I've fixed it. My laptop has definitely been sworn at more than it deserves.

The worst part is when you spend hours trying to figure out why something doesn't work, and it turns out you missed a semicolon. Or when everything works fine on your computer but looks like complete rubbish on someone else's. Fun times.

The Reality of It

Look, I'm not gonna lie this has been a right pain sometimes. I work full time doing deliveries, so most of this gets done late at night when I should probably be sleeping. I've had way too many energy drinks and definitely not enough sleep.

The database has corrupted itself more times than I care to remember. I've had images that wouldn't load for no reason. CSS that worked yesterday but decided to have a tantrum today. The usual web development nightmare stuff.

But every time I get something working properly, it feels brilliant. Like when I finally got all the block images showing up correctly, or when the search actually started finding things. Small wins, but they keep me going.

What I Actually Want to Build

Here's the thing I want this to be your go to place for everything Minecraft. Not just blocks and items, but proper guides, build tutorials, maybe even schematics you can download. Server info, community stuff, the lot.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, and there's loads missing. But I'm working on it. It takes time when you're learning as you go and doing it around a full time job. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than rush it and end up with something rubbish.

The plan is to make it the kind of site I actually want to use fast, easy to navigate, with everything you need in one place. No endless ads, no broken links, just useful stuff presented in a way that doesn't make you want to throw your computer out the window.

Why I Keep Going

Honestly? Because every time someone uses this site or gives me feedback, it reminds me why I started. I love Minecraft, I love building things (both in game and apparently websites), and I love the community.

Plus, I've learned loads doing this. Sure, I've wanted to give up more times than I can count, but seeing it slowly come together is pretty satisfying. And if it helps other people find what they're looking for without having to trawl through ten different outdated websites, then that's worth it.

So yeah, bear with me while I figure this all out. It's going to take a while, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks for checking it out, and if you spot anything broken or have suggestions, let me know. I'm still learning, but I'm determined to make this work.
