Overview
Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Slab is a building block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Slab 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. A stonecutter can cut it straight from Waxed Weathered Copper, with nothing wasted. It goes into exactly one recipe: Waxed Weathered Chiseled Copper.
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 3, Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Slab takes 15 seconds to punch out and 0.5 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
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.
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.
| 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
Waxed Weathered 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. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. A pickaxe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag.
