Waxed Weathered Chiseled Copper

Overview

Waxed Weathered Chiseled Copper is a building block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Waxed Weathered Chiseled Copper 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. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.

The recipe calls for Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Slab. A stonecutter can cut it straight from Waxed Weathered Copper, with nothing wasted. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

About the copper set

How long it takes to break

Waxed Weathered 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.

A weaker tool still breaks it, but anything under stone returns nothing — you spend the time and lose the drop, which is how most veins get wasted.

Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 3.3 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.

Properties

Blast resistance on Waxed Weathered Chiseled Copper is 6, so an explosion nearby will usually take it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. The block is tagged for pickaxes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
