What is Waxed Cut Copper in Minecraft?
A waxed cut copper block is a version of the cut copper block that will never change color. It has the same tiled, metallic orange appearance as a brand new cut copper block. The main purpose of waxing a cut copper block is to permanently preserve its color. Regular cut copper will slowly turn green over time when exposed to the air, but a waxed cut copper block will stay a shiny orange forever. This is perfect for builders who want to use the beautiful orange color of new copper for their roofs and floors without having to worry about it aging and turning green.
How to get Waxed Cut Copper in Minecraft
You can only get a waxed cut copper block by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting process is very simple. You will need one regular cut copper block and one honeycomb. To get a cut copper block, 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 cut copper block and the honeycomb anywhere in the grid to create one waxed cut copper block. You can also wax a cut copper block that has already been placed in the world by right clicking on it with a honeycomb.
How to use Waxed Cut Copper in Minecraft
The main use for a waxed cut copper block is for building and decoration. Its tiled pattern and bright, metallic orange color are great for creating roofs, floors, 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 cut copper block with an axe. The wax will be scraped off, and the block will start to turn green over time.
