Copper Block is a versatile and visually distinctive building material. Crafted from four Copper Ingots in a 2×2 pattern within the crafting grid, this block exhibits a unique weathering mechanic. Over time, exposed Copper Blocks undergo oxidation, changing their appearance from a shiny, orange hue to a more weathered and greenish patina. This dynamic feature adds an element of realism and aging to structures.
The oxidation process is affected by the block’s exposure to the air, making it an interesting addition to building designs, where builders may intentionally expose Copper Blocks to the elements for specific aesthetic effects.
This guide will walk you through the crafting process, including required materials, step-by-step instructions, and commands for quick access.
