Waxed Oxidized Copper Door
Waxed Oxidized Copper Door keeps copper's aged teal finish permanent, since Honeycomb blocks the oxidation stages doors normally pass through while weathering.
Description
Waxed Oxidized Copper Door opens and closes through several triggers: a player's Use Item key, a redstone signal, a passing Villager, Piglin, Vindicator, or Copper Golem, and even the wind burst from a thrown Wind Charge. Builders pick Waxed Oxidized Copper Door for weathered dockside sheds, abandoned-looking ruins, or copper rooftops where the aged teal patina should never fade back toward shiny orange, keeping that finished look for the rest of the world's lifetime.

Yes. Villagers, Piglins, Vindicators, and Copper Golems can all open and close Waxed Oxidized Copper Door directly, the same as any copper door.
Will a Zombie break down Waxed Oxidized Copper Door?

Does a Wind Charge affect Waxed Oxidized Copper Door?
Yes. A thrown Wind Charge's wind burst toggles Waxed Oxidized Copper Door between open and closed, just like a redstone signal does.
