Although copper is relatively easy to mine, there are some things you need to know about it, such as its oxidation process and ideal extraction level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f0db3fb4d7b\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f0db3fb4d7b\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/en\/how-to-find-and-use-copper-in-minecraft\/#How-to-find-copper-in-Minecraft\" >How to find copper in Minecraft?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/en\/how-to-find-and-use-copper-in-minecraft\/#How-to-get-copper-ingots-in-Minecraft\" >How to get copper ingots in Minecraft?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/en\/how-to-find-and-use-copper-in-minecraft\/#How-to-use-copper-in-Minecraft\" >How to use copper in Minecraft ?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/en\/how-to-find-and-use-copper-in-minecraft\/#How-to-wax-copper-in-Minecraft\" >How to wax copper in Minecraft ?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-find-copper-in-Minecraft\"><\/span>How to find copper in Minecraft?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To get copper ingots in Minecraft, you need to find copper ore. This resource appears in the form of a copper vein, which means that you will usually find several blocks of copper ore clustered together. Bring a stone pickaxe or a better quality pickaxe, because copper ore mined with a wooden pickaxe or other object will not yield anything.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/copper-ore-minecraft.png\" alt=\"Copper ore minecraft\" class=\"wp-image-6223\" width=\"195\" height=\"195\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/copper-ore-minecraft.png 300w, https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/copper-ore-minecraft-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Copper ore<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Copper ore appears from the y: 0 to y: 96 level, but with a higher probability of occurrence around the intermediate layers. It is therefore wise to start looking a little below sea level (y: 63). If it appears between the y: 0 and y: 16 levels, the copper ore will be in the form of an abyssal slate copper ore. The latter has a higher level of hardness than normal copper ore and takes longer to extract. Since it is also quite rare, it is better to choose the normal type of copper ore.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/raw-copper-minecraft.png\" alt=\"Raw copper minecraft\" class=\"wp-image-6228\" width=\"119\" height=\"119\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/raw-copper-minecraft.png 160w, https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/raw-copper-minecraft-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 119px) 100vw, 119px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Raw copper<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Broken copper ore yields 2-5 gross copper, unless mined with an enchanted pickaxe with silk touch.

You need to smelt this raw material in order to make copper ingots. This is a fairly simple step that most Minecraft players are already familiar with: just put the raw copper in a furnace and add some fuel (wood will do). Then wait until your copper ingots are ready. You can start making things!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"315\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/craft-copper-ingot-minecraft.png\" alt=\"craft copper ingot minecraft\" class=\"wp-image-6233\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/craft-copper-ingot-minecraft.png 315w, https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/craft-copper-ingot-minecraft-300x207.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Place raw copper with fuel in a furnace to obtain copper ore.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-use-copper-in-Minecraft\"><\/span>How to use copper in Minecraft ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we have our copper ingots, it&#8217;s time to use them. Copper ingots can be used to create the following objects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Copper Block: Use nine copper ingots to create a smooth, solid copper block.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carved Copper Block: Use 4 copper blocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waxed Copper Block: Use any copper block with a honeycomb.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rough Copper Block: Use nine pieces of rough copper to create a rough copper block.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightning Rod: Place three copper ingots on top of each other to create the lightning rod.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spyglass: Place an amethyst chip on top of two copper ingots to make the spyglass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-wax-copper-in-Minecraft\"><\/span>How to wax copper in Minecraft ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like in real life, copper in Minecraft changes color due to oxidation. You can see the differences in the picture. If you don&#8217;t want your copper to change, you can wax it (this will preserve the current color, without resetting it). Just equip a honeycomb and use it on the copper block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/copper-oxidation-minecraft-1024x561.jpg\" alt=\"copper oxidation minecraft\" class=\"wp-image-6238\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/copper-oxidation-minecraft-1024x561.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/copper-oxidation-minecraft-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/copper-oxidation-minecraft-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minecraft-tutos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/copper-oxidation-minecraft.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The different levels of copper oxidation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use an axe on a copper block to scrape it. This will reset the oxidation level of a unit (weathered copper will become exposed copper). Finally, although you can&#8217;t really predict it, a lightning strike will completely eliminate oxidation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;6216&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;5 \\\/ 5 - (1 vote)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;How to find and use copper in Minecraft ?&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;118&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score} \\\/ {best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px;
