Waxed Oxidized Copper Trapdoor

Overview

Waxed Oxidized Copper Trapdoor counts as a functional block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Waxed Oxidized 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 Oxidized Copper Trapdoor and Honeycomb. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

How long it takes to break

Hardness 3 puts Waxed Oxidized Copper Trapdoor at 15 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.5 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.

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

It will break below stone, and you will get nothing for it. That combination of time spent and drop lost is the classic mining mistake.

The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 3.3 times the unenchanted rate.

Properties

Waxed Oxidized Copper Trapdoor resists blasts at 6, which usually is not enough when something explodes nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none of its own. Stack size is 64 — the standard 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.

Transparent: Yes
Required tool: Stone Pickaxe
