Oxidized Copper Trapdoor

Overview

Oxidized Copper Trapdoor 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 Trapdoor is the same shape in a different material.

In Minecraft 1.21.4, Oxidized Copper Trapdoor is a functional block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. 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. Because it is transparent it does not block light.

A full stack holds 64. Its only crafting use is Waxed Oxidized Copper Trapdoor.

How long it takes to break

Oxidized Copper Trapdoor has a hardness of 3. By hand that is 15 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.5 seconds.

Iron takes 0.75 seconds against diamond's 0.6, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.

The block still breaks with a weaker tool, but below stone it yields nothing at all — the time is spent and the drop is lost, which is the single most common way players waste a vein.

Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 3.3 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.

Properties

Blast resistance on Oxidized Copper Trapdoor is 6, so an explosion nearby will usually take it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. 64 fit in a slot — a 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.
