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