Minecraft’s Caves & Cliffs Update: Part I has introduced a durable and evergreen block – waxed copper. By combining a copper block with a honeycomb in the crafting grid, players can wax the copper block. The waxing process helps to prevent the copper block from oxidizing, preserving its initial appearance.
When a copper block oxidizes, it changes color over time, developing a greenish patina. The introduction of waxing provides players with a way to maintain the original appearance of copper blocks in their builds.
To wax a copper block:
- Craft or obtain honeycombs.
- Place the honeycomb and the copper block in the crafting grid.
This creates a waxed copper block. The wax prevents the copper block from undergoing the natural oxidation process.
This unique block doesn’t age or turn green over time, providing a fresh and timeless look to your builds. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of crafting waxed copper with easy-to-follow instructions and screenshots.
