Oxidized Copper
Oxidized Copper is the final stage — uniform seafoam green with no orange remaining, like the iconic Statue-of-Liberty patina.

Description
Oxidized Copper is the terminal stage of the four-step oxidation chain — once a block reaches this state through random ticks, the surface stops changing further unless a player intervenes. The colour is a uniform pale seafoam green, the same shade as the iconic patina on the Statue of Liberty or the green-domed cathedrals of old European cities. None of the original orange remains visible, giving the block a clean monochrome look perfect for large structural elements.
The stage can be locked permanently with a honeycomb to prevent any future axe accidents from accidentally stripping it back. Conversely, a single axe scrape returns the surface to weathered copper (one stage back), and a lightning bolt anywhere within range reverts an unwaxed block all the way to fresh copper instantly — useful for changing the colour scheme of a build without manually replacing every block. The full variant set including stairs, slabs, cut block, cut stairs, and cut slabs all exist at this oxidation level, allowing complete green-themed architectural projects.
