Description

Oxidized Cut Copper Slab is the fourth and final oxidation stage of Cut Copper Slab, reached after the unoxidized, exposed, and weathered stages turn the surface teal with scattered green spots. Three matching Oxidized Cut Copper blocks craft into six Oxidized Cut Copper Slabs, and a stonecutter turns one matching Block of Copper into eight slabs or one matching Cut Copper into two. Lightning bolts and axes strip Oxidized Cut Copper Slab back an oxidation stage, while a Honeycomb waxes Oxidized Cut Copper Slab permanently at the current color. Waxed cut copper slabs, including the oxidized stage, generate naturally inside trial chambers.

Builders reach for Oxidized Cut Copper Slab to cap aged copper roofs, weathered statues, and patina-finished builds without waiting for natural oxidation to finish. Oxidized Cut Copper Slab is waterloggable and stacks to 64, fitting into decorative builds the same way any other slab does. Cut Copper Slab is also a crafting ingredient for Chiseled Copper, so keeping an oxidized supply on hand covers that recipe too. Breaking Oxidized Cut Copper Slab needs at least a Stone Pickaxe, since a lower tool or bare hands drop nothing.
