Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper Slab

Overview

Minecraft classifies Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper Slab as a building block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper Slab. 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. You can also cut it from Waxed Oxidized Copper on a stonecutter. Its only crafting use is Waxed Oxidized Chiseled Copper.

How long it takes to break

Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper Slab 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.

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.

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

Properties

Waxed Oxidized Cut Copper Slab 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.
