Cut Copper Slab
Cut Copper Slab is a decorative half-block cut from Cut Copper that oxidizes (changes color over time) like other copper blocks.
Description
Like other copper blocks, Cut Copper Slab oxidizes over time through four stages — unoxidized, exposed, weathered, and oxidized — shifting from a bright orange-pink surface toward a teal-green one. A Honeycomb waxes Cut Copper Slab to freeze its current color permanently, while an axe or a lightning bolt strips the oxidation back off. Cut Copper Slab is also a crafting ingredient for Chiseled Copper, and waxed copies generate naturally inside Trial Chambers, giving builders a ready weathered-copper trim without waiting years of in-game exposure.
