Result

Block of Copper

Ingredients match the published snapshot.

Usage

The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.

The block weathers through exposed, weathered, and oxidized stages. Honeycomb creates the matching waxed stage and stops further oxidation; a stonecutter turns one copper block into four cut copper blocks.

Data: Usage
Shape	Full cube
Rendering	Isometric preview
Oxidation stages	Copper → exposed → weathered → oxidized
Oxidation trigger	Random ticks advance an unwaxed block when its local copper neighbors allow it
Waxing	Honeycomb preserves the current stage
Axe interaction	An axe scrapes one oxidation stage or removes wax
Stonecutting	1 copper block → 4 cut copper
Family tag	#minecraft:copper

Behavior

Copper blocks keep the same shape while their appearance and map color change with age. Each weathering stage uses a copper sound and its own note-block instrument; the unwaxed block starts orange and ends in the oxidized warped palette.

Data: Behavior
State count	1
Hardness	3.0
Blast resistance	6.0
Sound	Copper
Instrument	Trumpet, with age-specific variants
Map colors	Orange → light gray terracotta → warped stem → warped nylium

Data values

The block uses the `minecraft:copper_block` identifier, the copper family tag, and the pickaxe/stone-tool mining gates. The public family includes four unwaxed and four waxed oxidation stages.
