Oxidized Copper in Minecraft

Oxidized copper is a variant of the copper block. Oxidized copper blocks cannot be crafted by players. They start off as regular copper blocks that get oxidized over time once exposed to air. The oxidation process relies on random ticks and it cannot be accelerated by water or rain.

How to get oxidized copper?


Oxidized copper blocks can neither be crafted by players nor do they generate naturally in the Overworld. The only way to get an oxidized copper block is by placing a regular copper block in a place where it is exposed to the air. Over a period of time, its appearance will slowly turn green. Once completely green, it is now classified as Oxidized copper. This process cannot be sped up by players.

What is the use of oxidized copper?


Oxidized copper blocks can be used as building or decorative blocks. They can be turned into stairs, they can be waxed and cut with the help of a stonecutter. Their unique brown-greenish appearance makes them quite useful for emulating an oxidized effect on structures close to water bodies.
