Minecraft:Block of Copper

Template:Infobox block A block of copper, internally known as a copper block, is a block that oxidizes over time, gaining a verdigris appearance over four stages. They can be prevented from oxidizing by being waxed with Minecraft:honeycombs. Non-oxidized blocks of copper are storage blocks equivalent to nine Minecraft:copper ingots.

Obtaining

Breaking

Blocks of copper can be mined only with a Minecraft:stone pickaxe or better; otherwise, it drops nothing. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Unwaxed blocks of copper do not spawn naturally. Waxed blocks of copper and waxed oxidized copper generate naturally in Minecraft:trial chambers. Template:Block distribution

Waxing

Blocks of copper can be turned into the respective waxed copper blocks by Template:Control a Minecraft:honeycomb item on them. Waxed copper blocks do not oxidize and are identical to the non-waxed version.

Scraping

Template:Control an Minecraft:axe on a waxed block of copper turns it into the respective non-waxed block of copper. In addition, using an axe on an exposed, weathered, or oxidized block of copper reverts it one stage to a regular, exposed, or weathered copper block respectively.

Scraping with an axe is not possible when holding a shield in the offhand, so that combat is not affected when the player is near waxed or oxidized copper blocks.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Lightning strike

Non-waxed blocks of copper are completely deoxidized when struck by lightning, and other non-waxed blocks of copper nearby are deoxidized randomly.

Usage

Blocks of copper can be used to store copper ingots in a compact fashion. Exposed, weathered, and oxidized variants cannot be crafted back into copper ingots, but the unoxidized waxed block variant can. Unlike the cut variant, blocks of copper cannot be crafted directly into slabs or stairs without a stonecutter. Stonecutting blocks of copper gives four times more products than typical for stone, and allows slabs and stairs to be obtained.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Spawning copper golems

A block of copper and Minecraft:carved pumpkins or Minecraft:jack o'lanterns are used to build Minecraft:copper golems. The carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern must be placed last, and the golem spawns immediately after placing it.

Oxidation

Template:Main Non-waxed blocks of copper have four stages of oxidation (including the initial normal state). Minecraft:Lightning bolts and Minecraft:axes can remove the oxidation from blocks of copper. They can be waxed with a Minecraft:honeycomb to prevent the oxidation from progressing.

As the block begins to oxidize (exposed copper), it gets discolored and green spots begin to appear. As the oxidation continues (weathered copper), the block is a green color with brown spots. In the last stage (oxidized copper), the block is teal with several green spots.

Note blocks

Blocks of copper can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce trumpet sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft:Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb blocks of copper at any oxidization stage, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the medicine ball/slow flat effect to the mob when hitting it.
