Cut copper is an oxidizing metal block crafted from blocks of copper. Like other copper blocks, cut copper can be waxed to prevent oxidation.
Obtaining
[edit | edit source]Breaking
[edit | edit source]Cut copper can be mined only with a stone pickaxe or better. If cut copper is mined without the use of a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

- incorrect tool, drops nothing
- correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
- correct tool, drops the block itself
- italicized can be instant mined
- ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Mining efficiency.
Natural generation
[edit | edit source]Oxidized cut copper, waxed oxidized cut copper, and waxed cut copper generates naturally in trial chambers.
Crafting

Stonecutting

|---|---|
| Matching Unwaxed Block of Copper or Matching Waxed Block of Copper |
Waxing
[edit | edit source]Cut copper can be turned into the respective waxed cut copper by using a honeycomb item on them. Waxed cut copper does not oxidize and are identical to the non-waxed version.
Scraping
[edit | edit source]Using an axe on waxed cut copper turns it into the respective non-waxed cut copper. In addition, using an axe on exposed, weathered, or oxidized cut copper reverts it one stage to regular, exposed, or weathered cut copper respectively.
Lightning strike
[edit | edit source]Non-waxed cut copper is completely deoxidized when struck by lightning, and other non-waxed cut copper nearby is deoxidized randomly.

Oxidation
[edit | edit source]Non-waxed cut copper has four stages of oxidation (including the initial normal state). Lightning bolts and axes can remove the oxidation on cut copper.
As the block begins to oxidize (exposed), it gets discolored and green spots begin to appear. As the oxidation continues (weathered), the block is a green color with brown spots. In the last stage (oxidized), the block is teal with several green spots.
