Minecraft Copper is the resource you'll need if you want to craft a Lightning Rod, Spyglass, or Brush. You can also use Copper as a building block - it's a bit odd, but your 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft house will look shiny. Until the Copper sta𝔍rts to oxidize, that is.

Like other metal resources in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft, you must smelt Copper to obtain Copper ingots. Only Copper Ingots are usable for crafting. Here's how to find Copp♈er Ore in Minecraft, how to smelt it, and how to use it for crafting.

How to find Copper in Minecraft

To get Minecraft Copper Ingots, you need to find Copper Ore. This resource spawns in the form of a Copper vein, meaning that you usually find several Copper ore blocks clustered togethe♊r. Bring a Stone Pickaxe or higher quality pickaxe with you, as Copper Ore mined with a wood pickaxe or other item won’t drop anything. 

Copper Ore spawns from Y-level 0 to 96, but with a higher spawn chance around the middle layers - around Y48. It’s therefore wise to start searching a little below sea level (Y63). If it spawns between layers Y0 and Y16, the Copper ore will take the form of Deepslate Copper Ore. The latter has a higher hardness level than normal Copper Ore and takes longer to mine. As it’s also quite rare, it’s best to just go for the normal Copper Ore type. Dripstone cave biomes can also contain large veins of Copper ore. Of course, it may help to use 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft seeds with spawn points near Copper veins.

How to get Copper Ingots in Minecraft

However, mining Copper Ore will only get you Raw Copper. You need to smelt this raw material in order to make Minecraft Copper Ingots. This is a fairly simple step which most Minecraft players will already be familiar with: just put the Raw Copper in a furna💯ce and add some fuel (wood will do). Then wai꧑t until your Copper Ingots are ready. Now you can start crafting!

How to use Copper in Minecraft

Now that we have our Copper Ingots, it’s tim🎃e to start crafting. Copper Ingoꦑts can be used to create the following items:

• Copper block. Use nine Copper Ingots to create a smooth, solid copper block.
• Copper trapdoor. Place two rows of three Copper Ingots on your crafting table.
• Lightning Rod. Place three Copper Ingots on top of each other to create a Lightning Rod. You can check out our separate 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft lightning rods guide too.
• Spyglass. Place one Amethyst Shard on top of two Copper Ingots to craft a Spyglass.
• Brush. Place one Copper Ingot on the crafting table with one Feather at the top and one Stick below.

How to wax Copper in Minecraft

Just like in real life, Minecraft copper changes its color due to oxidati﷽on. You can see the different stages of Copper oxidation in Minecraft in the above picture. If you don’t want your copper to change, you can wax it (this will preserve the current color, not reset it). Just equip a honeycomb and use it on the copper block.

Alternatively, you can use an axe on a Copper block to scrape it. This will reset the level of oxidation by one (weathered copper would become exposed coꦍpper). Finally, while you can’t really plan this, a lightning strike will fully remove the oxidation.
