Overview
Weathered Cut Copper is one of the 5 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Cut Copper is the same shape in a different material.
Weathered Cut Copper counts as a building block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Weathered Cut 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 Weathered Copper. A stonecutter can cut it straight from Weathered Copper, with nothing wasted. Its main value is as a crafting ingredient: 4 recipes need it, Waxed Weathered Cut Copper, Weathered Cut Copper Slab, Weathered Cut Copper Stairs and 1 more among them.
About the copper set
How long it takes to break
Weathered Cut Copper sits at hardness 3: 15 seconds per block with your fists, 0.5 with the correct netherite tool.
You are looking at 0.75 seconds on iron and 0.6 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
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.
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
Weathered Cut Copper 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. The block is tagged for pickaxes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
