Overview
Weathered Cut Copper Stairs 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 Stairs is the same shape in a different material.
Minecraft classifies Weathered Cut Copper Stairs as a building block. Weathered Cut Copper Stairs 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. The one thing it makes is Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Stairs.
How long it takes to break
Weathered Cut Copper Stairs 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.
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.
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
Weathered Cut Copper Stairs 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. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. The fastest tool for it is a pickaxe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.
