Exposed Copper Door

Overview

Exposed Copper Door is one of the 5 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Copper Door is the same shape in a different material.

In Minecraft 1.21.4, Exposed Copper Door is a functional block. It is gathered by mining rather than crafted. At a hardness of 3 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.

Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light. A full stack holds 64.

Its only crafting use is Waxed Exposed Copper Door.

How long it takes to break

Exposed Copper Door sits at hardness 3: 4.5 seconds per block with your fists, 0.5 with the correct netherite tool.

You are looking at 0.75 seconds on iron and 0.6 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.

The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.

Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 3.3 times faster than the plain tool.

Tool	No enchantment	Efficiency III	Efficiency V
Hand	4.5 s	4.5 s	4.5 s
Wooden	2.3 s	0.4 s	0.2 s
Stone	1.2 s	0.35 s	0.15 s
Iron	0.75 s	0.3 s	0.15 s
Diamond	0.6 s	0.25 s	0.15 s
Netherite	0.5 s	0.25 s	0.15 s
Golden	0.4 s	0.25 s	0.15 s

Properties

Blast resistance on Exposed Copper Door is 6, so an explosion nearby will usually take it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. A pickaxe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag.
