'''Copper''' is a [[Minecraft:metal]] found in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] that is used to craft [[Minecraft:copper armor]], [[Minecraft:copper tool]]s, building blocks and other [[Minecraft:item]]s, as well as to create [[Minecraft:copper golem]]s. Most blocks made from copper [[Minecraft:oxidize]] slowly over time, changing their appearance.

Copper [[Minecraft:World generation|generates]] naturally as [[Minecraft:copper ore]], which drops [[Minecraft:raw copper]] that can be smelted into [[Minecraft:Copper ingot|ingots]]. Additionally, [[Minecraft:copper block]]s - many of which are fully oxidized - can be found abundantly in [[Minecraft:trial chambers]].

== Items ==
* {{ItemLink|Raw Copper}} – an item dropped from mining copper ore.
* {{ItemLink|Copper Ingot}} – an [[Minecraft:item]] created by smelting raw copper or by killing [[Minecraft:drowned]] and [[Minecraft:copper golem]]s.

=== Oxidizing blocks ===
Blocks made from copper can [[Minecraft:oxidize]] over time, gaining a verdigris appearance over four stages:
* {{BlockSprite|block-of-copper}} Unoxidized
* {{BlockSprite|exposed-copper}} Exposed
* {{BlockSprite|weathered-copper}} Weathered
* {{BlockSprite|oxidized-copper}} Oxidized

They can be prevented from oxidizing by being waxed with [[Minecraft:honeycomb]]s, and returned to previous oxidation stages using an [[Minecraft:axe]]. [[Minecraft:Lightning|Lightning strikes]] also remove oxidation stages. This brings the number of variants for each block listed below up to eight.
