Overview
Oxidized Chiseled Copper 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. Chiseled Copper is the same shape in a different material.
Oxidized Chiseled Copper is a building block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Oxidized Chiseled Copper is made at a crafting table. Hardness 3 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
Mine it with a stone pickaxe or better, or you get no drop at all. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
The recipe calls for Oxidized Cut Copper Slab. A stonecutter can cut it straight from Oxidized Copper, with nothing wasted. It goes into exactly one recipe: Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper.
About the copper set
How long it takes to break
Oxidized Chiseled Copper sits at hardness 3: 15 seconds per block with your fists, 0.5 with the correct netherite tool.
Iron takes 0.75 seconds against diamond's 0.6, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.
A weaker tool still breaks it, but anything under stone returns nothing — you spend the time and lose the drop, which is how most veins get wasted.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 3.3 times the unenchanted rate.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand * | 15 s | 15 s | 15 s |
| Wooden * | 7.5 s | 1.3 s | 0.55 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 * | 1.3 s | 0.7 s | 0.4 s |
Properties
Oxidized Chiseled Copper resists blasts at 6, which usually is not enough when something explodes nearby. Light does not pass through it, and it emits none of its own. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. A pickaxe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for.
