Overview
Weathered Cut Copper Slab 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 Slab is the same shape in a different material.
Minecraft classifies Weathered Cut Copper Slab as a building block. Weathered Cut Copper Slab has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 3 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
It needs at least a stone pickaxe to drop anything; a weaker tool destroys it for nothing. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A full stack holds 64.
It is crafted from Weathered Cut Copper. The stonecutter is the cheaper route: one Weathered Copper gives one of these. Its crafting uses are Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Slab and Weathered Chiseled Copper.
How long it takes to break
Weathered Cut Copper Slab 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.
You are looking at 0.75 seconds on iron and 0.6 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
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.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 3.3 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| 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 |
