Waxed Copper Trapdoor

Overview

Waxed 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.

Waxed Copper Trapdoor counts as a functional block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Waxed Copper Trapdoor 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. Because it is transparent it does not block light.

A full stack holds 64. It is crafted from Copper Trapdoor and Honeycomb. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

How long it takes to break

Waxed Copper Trapdoor sits at hardness 3: 15 seconds per block with your fists, 0.5 with the correct netherite tool.

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.

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.

Properties

Waxed Copper Trapdoor 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. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal 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.

Transparent: Yes
Required tool: Stone Pickaxe
