Copper Grate
Semi-transparent copper lattice from Trial Chambers that lets light and entities pass through but blocks water flow, available in four oxidation stages.

Description
Copper grates appear in trial chamber structures and can also be crafted from four copper ingots arranged in a two-by-two square. They are partially transparent — light passes through, players and mobs walk through without triggering a block interaction, and projectiles pass freely — yet they stop water from flowing. This combination makes them useful as mob filters in farm designs where water-flushing channels are used but mob collision must be preserved.
Like all copper blocks, grates oxidise through four stages: normal, exposed, weathered, and oxidized. Each transition brings a progressively greener appearance. Waxing with a honeycomb at any stage prevents further oxidation; scraping with an axe reverses it one stage at a time.
A copper grate produces no light of its own but is frequently paired with copper bulbs or sculk sensors in builds that lean into the trial-chamber aesthetic. Because entities can pass through, they also serve as see-through fences that do not obstruct visual lines in builds where regular walls would feel too enclosed.
