Overview
Oxidized Cut Copper Slab 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 Slab is the same shape in a different material.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Oxidized Cut Copper Slab is a building block. Oxidized Cut Copper Slab 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 Cut Copper. The stonecutter is the cheaper route: one Oxidized Copper gives one of these. Its crafting uses are Oxidized Chiseled Copper and Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper Slab.
How long it takes to break
Oxidized Cut Copper Slab 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.
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.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 3.3 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| 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 Cut Copper Slab 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 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.
