Overview
Waxed Weathered Cut Copper counts as a building block in Minecraft 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Waxed Weathered Cut 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 Weathered Copper. You can also cut it from Waxed Weathered Copper on a stonecutter. It is used to craft Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Slab, Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Stairs, and Waxed Weathered Chiseled Copper.
About the copper set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 3, Waxed Weathered Cut Copper takes 15 seconds to punch out and 0.5 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
You are looking at 0.75 seconds on iron and 0.6 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
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.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand * | 15 s | 15 s | 15 s |
| Wooden * | 7.5 s | 1.3 s | 0.55 s |
| Stone | 1.2 s | 0.35 s | 0.15 s |
| Iron | 0.75 s | 0.3 s | 0.15 s |
| Diamond | 0.6 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Netherite | 0.5 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Golden * | 1.3 s | 0.7 s | 0.4 s |
Properties
Blast resistance on Waxed Weathered Cut Copper is 6, so an explosion nearby will usually take it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. A pickaxe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for.
