Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper

Overview

Minecraft classifies Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper as a building block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper. Its hardness of 3 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.

Anything below a stone pickaxe breaks it without leaving a drop. It drops as the same block you mined. It stacks to 64.

You make it with Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper Slab. You can also cut it from Waxed Oxidized Copper on a stonecutter. It is not used in any crafting recipe.

About the copper set

How long it takes to break

Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper 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 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 Oxidized Chiseled Copper has a blast resistance of 6, so a nearby explosion will usually destroy it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. The fastest tool for it is a pickaxe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.
