What is Copper Ingot in Minecraft?
A copper ingot is a metal bar with a bright, reddish orange color. It is a relatively new and very versatile metal in Minecraft. Its main purpose is for crafting a variety of decorative blocks that change color over time, as well as a few very useful tools. Copper is famous for its oxidation feature, where blocks made from it will slowly turn from orange to a greenish blue color when exposed to the air. This makes it a favorite for builders who want to create structures that look like they are aging naturally. It is a fun and dynamic material to build with.
How to get Copper Ingot in Minecraft
The main way to get a copper ingot is by smelting raw copper. First, you need to find copper ore, which is a stone block with orange and green specks. It is very common and can be found in large veins anywhere underground. You will need at least a stone pickaxe to mine it. When you mine the ore, it will drop several pieces of raw copper. Then, you just need to smelt the raw copper in a furnace or a blast furnace to get a copper ingot. You can also sometimes get a copper ingot as a drop from a Drowned, which is a type of zombie found in water.
How to use Copper Ingot in Minecraft
A copper ingot has many uses, mostly for building and crafting. You can combine nine copper ingots to create a block of copper. This block, along with its cut, stair, and slab variants, will slowly oxidize and turn green. You can wax these blocks with honeycomb to stop them from changing color. A copper ingot is also used to craft some important tools. You can combine two copper ingots and an amethyst shard to make a spyglass, which lets you zoom in. You can also use one to craft a brush for archaeology, and four to craft a lightning rod, which protects your flammable buildings from lightning strikes.
