How to Make Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue in Minecraft
Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue
Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue locks the fully oxidized green stage forever — craft it from an Oxidized Copper Golem Statue and a honeycomb, then switch four poses that output comparator signals 1 to 4.
26.1.2
Description
Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue is the sealed, fully oxidized variant of the Copper Golem Statue block, added in Java Edition 1.21.9 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.111. The waxed variant is crafted by combining an Oxidized Copper Golem Statue with a honeycomb on the crafting grid. The unwaxed statue itself comes from the copper golem lifecycle: a fully oxidized, unwaxed copper golem petrifies into a statue after roughly 8.62 seconds on average, dropping any held items. Waxing locks the oxidized stage, so the green copper patina never changes again.
Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue works as a permanent decorative marker for copper builds, workshops, storage rooms, and museum-style displays. Interacting with the block cycles four poses — standing, sitting, running, and star — and a redstone comparator reads the current pose as a signal strength from 1 to 4 (Bedrock Edition requires an empty hand). The block has hardness 3, blast resistance 6, stacks to 64, and is best mined with a pickaxe.

Decoration Guide
How to use Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue in Minecraft
-
1
Craft the waxed variant
Combine one Oxidized Copper Golem Statue with one honeycomb on the crafting grid to get Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue.
-
2
Set the statue pose
Interact with Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue (empty-handed on Bedrock Edition) to cycle the standing, sitting, running, and star poses.
-
3
Read the pose with redstone
Place a redstone comparator behind the statue and read a signal strength of 1 to 4 matching the current pose.
-
4
Keep the wax intact
Do not scrape Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue with an axe, because removing the wax ends the permanent lock on the green patina.
Important
Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue breaks when a piston pushes the statue and never sticks to slime or honey blocks — plan the placement before running redstone.

Frequently asked questions
How do you get Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue?
Craft one Oxidized Copper Golem Statue together with one honeycomb on the crafting grid. The unwaxed oxidized statue itself appears when a fully oxidized copper golem petrifies into statue form.
What does waxing do to an oxidized Copper Golem Statue?
Waxing locks the oxidized stage permanently: the green patina stops aging and can no longer be changed by axe scraping or lightning.
Does Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue work with redstone?
Yes. A redstone comparator behind the statue reads the current pose and outputs a signal strength from 1 (standing) to 4 (star).
How is the waxed oxidized variant different from the unwaxed statue?
The unwaxed statue keeps interacting with oxidation mechanics such as axe scraping and lightning, while Waxed Oxidized Copper Golem Statue keeps the final green color fixed forever for permanent displays.
