Overview
Oxidized Cut 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. Cut Copper is the same shape in a different material.
Minecraft classifies Oxidized Cut Copper as a building block. Oxidized Cut Copper has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 3 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
It needs at least a stone pickaxe to drop anything; a weaker tool destroys it for nothing. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A full stack holds 64.
It is crafted from Oxidized Copper. The stonecutter is the cheaper route: one Oxidized Copper gives one of these. 4 recipes call for it, including Oxidized Cut Copper Slab, Oxidized Cut Copper Stairs, Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper and 1 more.
About the copper set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 3, Oxidized Cut Copper takes 15 seconds to punch out and 0.5 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
Iron manages 0.75 seconds and diamond 0.6, which makes iron the tier that changes how this block feels.
Below stone the block breaks and simply vanishes. Bring the right tier or leave it in the ground.
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 * | 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
With 6 blast resistance Oxidized Cut Copper usually goes down to a nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. The block is tagged for pickaxes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
