Minecraft:Copper Ore

Template:Infobox block Copper ore is an Minecraft:ore block found underground.

Deepslate copper ore is the Minecraft:deepslate variant of copper ore, usually found deeper underground.

Obtaining

Breaking

Copper ore must be mined with a Minecraft:stone pickaxe or better, otherwise it drops nothing.

Breaking copper ore drops 2-5 Minecraft:raw copper, unless mined with a Minecraft:Silk Touch pickaxe. It is affected by the Minecraft:Fortune enchantment, dropping up to 20 raw copper, or 7.7 raw copper on average with Fortune III.

Natural generation

Template:See also Copper ore can be generated anywhere on the Minecraft:Overworld in the form of ore blobs. Copper ore generate in two batches, the first batch generate anywhere on the overworld biomes except dripstone caves 16 times per chunks in groups from 0 to 16, in layer -16 to 112, being most common in layers 47 and 48 and less common at the ends. The second batch generate only in dripstone caves 16 times per chunks in groups from 0 to 52, in layer -16 to 112, being most common in layers 47 and 48 and less common at the ends.

Copper ore can replace Minecraft:stone, Minecraft:andesite, Minecraft:diorite, Minecraft:granite, Minecraft:tuff, and Minecraft:deepslate. Copper ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate copper ore.

It can also spawn rare Minecraft:ore veins above Y=0, mixed with granite and the occasional raw copper blocks. In Minecraft:dripstone caves biomes, copper ore veins are larger on average.

Usage

The primary usage of copper ore is to mine it for Minecraft:raw copper. Copper ore does not Minecraft:oxidize like its block counterparts, despite the ore's texture showing some oxidation.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft:Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb copper ore and deepslate copper ore, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the medicine ball/slow flat effect to the mob when hitting it.
