What is Waxed Exposed Cut Copper Slab in Minecraft?
A waxed exposed cut copper slab is a version of the cut copper slab that has started to turn green but will not age any further. It has the same tiled pattern as a regular cut copper slab, but with a pale, greenish orange color. The main purpose of waxing an exposed cut copper slab is to permanently preserve this specific stage of oxidation. Regular cut copper slabs will continue to turn greener over time, but a waxed slab will stay in this lightly weathered state forever. This is perfect for builders who want a slightly aged, antique look for their detailed copper builds.
How to get Waxed Exposed Cut Copper Slab in Minecraft
You can only get a waxed exposed cut copper slab by crafting it or by waxing a slab in the world. To craft it, you will need one exposed cut copper slab and one honeycomb. To get an exposed cut copper slab, you must first let a regular cut copper slab 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 cut copper slab 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 Cut Copper Slab in Minecraft
The main use for a waxed exposed cut copper slab is for detailed building and decoration. Its tiled pattern and lightly aged color are great for creating antique looking roofs, detailed floors, or for adding a warm, weathered accent to a build. Because it is waxed, it will never oxidize further, so you can be sure that your build will always have that perfect, slightly aged look. If you ever change your mind and want the block to continue aging or to clean it, you can remove the wax. To do this, simply right click on the waxed slab with an axe. The wax will be scraped off, and the block will be free to change again.
