What is Waxed Weathered Copper in Minecraft?
A waxed weathered copper block is a version of the block of copper that is partially aged and will not change any further. It has the same metallic texture as a regular copper block, but with a brownish green color. The main purpose of waxing a weathered copper block is to permanently preserve this specific stage of oxidation. Regular copper will continue to turn greener over time, but a waxed block will stay in this weathered state forever. This is perfect for builders who want a moderately aged, antique look for their copper builds.
How to get Waxed Weathered Copper in Minecraft
You can only get a waxed weathered copper block by crafting it or by waxing a block in the world. To craft it, you will need one weathered copper block and one honeycomb. To get a weathered copper block, you must first let a regular block of copper sit out in the open air until it reaches the second stage of oxidation. Then, you can combine it with a honeycomb in a crafting grid. The easier way is to place a regular block of copper and wait for it to turn the right color. Once it looks brownish green, just right click on it with a honeycomb to wax it and lock in that color.
How to use Waxed Weathered Copper in Minecraft
The main use for a waxed weathered copper block is for building and decoration. Its moderately aged color is great for creating antique looking roofs, statues, 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, moderately 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 block with an axe. The wax will be scraped off, and the block will be free to change again.
