The copper sink is a joke Minecraft:block introduced in Java Edition 23w13a_or_b. It can appear only if the minecraft:copper_sink vote is active. It can be used to hold water and to delete copper-based blocks and items.

Obtaining

Breaking

A copper sink is the only block type in the game that does not have an associated tool to break it. It also cannot be dropped with Minecraft:Silk Touch.

Usage

A copper sink can be filled with water by using a water bucket on the sink. Interacting with a filled sink using a Minecraft:bucket empties the sink and fills the bucket. Bottles cannot be used on the copper sink, nor can buckets with other liquids.

Dropping any exclusively copper-based item into the sink deletes the item, including Minecraft:Raw Copper, Minecraft:Copper Ingot, Minecraft:Block of Copper, and other copper sinks.

Copper sinks cannot be oxidized or waxed, unlike most other copper-based items.

Trivia

The copper sink block is a joke referring to the Minecraft community's request that Mojang Studios add a copper "sink" (in video game development language, a "sink" refers to a gameplay feature that requires constant resource investment, preventing players from hoarding resources), as copper ingots had few uses at the time compared to other similar items like iron ingots.
