Waxed Copper Door

Overview

Waxed 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.

Waxed Copper Door counts as a functional block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Waxed Copper Door 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.

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

It is crafted from Copper Door and Honeycomb. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

How long it takes to break

At a hardness of 3, Waxed Copper Door takes 4.5 seconds to punch out and 0.5 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.

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

Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.

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	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

Waxed Copper Door has a blast resistance of 6, so a nearby explosion will usually destroy it. It lets light through and emits no light of its own. 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.

Transparent: Yes
