What is Waxed Exposed Copper Bulb in Minecraft?
A waxed exposed copper bulb is a version of the copper bulb that has started to turn green but will not age any further. It has the same design as a regular copper bulb, but with a pale, greenish orange color. The main purpose of waxing an exposed copper bulb is to permanently preserve this specific stage of oxidation. Regular copper bulbs will continue to turn greener over time, but a waxed block will stay in this lightly weathered state forever. This is perfect for builders who want a slightly aged, antique look for their lighting fixtures.
How to get Waxed Exposed Copper Bulb in Minecraft
You can only get a waxed exposed copper bulb by crafting it or by waxing a block in the world. To craft it, you will need one exposed copper bulb and one honeycomb. To get an exposed copper bulb, you must first let a regular copper bulb sit out in the open air until it reaches the first stage of oxidation. Then, you can combine it with a honeycomb in a crafting grid. The easier way is to place a regular copper bulb and wait for it to turn the right color. Once it looks lightly green, just right click on it with a honeycomb to wax it and lock in that color.
How to use Waxed Exposed Copper Bulb in Minecraft
The main use for a waxed exposed copper bulb is as a decorative, permanent redstone lamp. It works just like a regular copper bulb, turning on and off when it receives a redstone pulse. However, because it is waxed, it will never oxidize further, so its color will always stay the same. This is great for creating consistent and reliable lighting systems with an antique look. 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 bulb with an axe. The wax will be scraped off, and the block will be free to change again.
