How to Make Waxed Weathered Copper Chest in Minecraft
Waxed Weathered Copper Chest
Waxed Weathered Copper Chest holds 27 slots of items and keeps its green-and-brown patina for good, because honeycomb wax stops oxidation (copper's slow color change).

Description
Waxed Weathered Copper Chest is a copper storage container crafted by combining a Weathered Copper Chest with Honeycomb. A copper chest passes through four oxidation stages, from the normal copper color through exposed and weathered to oxidized, and the wax freezes a copper chest at the weathered stage: green with brown spots. Waxed Weathered Copper Chest holds 27 slots of items, grows to 54 slots when two copper chests merge into a large chest, and can be waterlogged.
Waxed Weathered Copper Chest drops as an item only when mined with a stone pickaxe or better, and any other tool drops just the contents. Copper golems pull items out of copper chests whatever their oxidation or wax state. Waxed Weathered Copper Chest keeps a fixed weathered-green tone that never drifts away from the rest of a waxed copper build.

Guide
How to make and use a Waxed Weathered Copper Chest in Minecraft
-
1
Craft a Copper Chest
Eight Copper Ingots placed around a Chest on the crafting grid craft a Copper Chest.
-
2
Let the chest weather
A Copper Chest placed in the world oxidizes from normal through exposed to weathered, the stage with a green color and brown spots.
-
3
Apply Honeycomb
A Weathered Copper Chest combined with Honeycomb in the crafting grid becomes a Waxed Weathered Copper Chest, and Honeycomb used on a placed Weathered Copper Chest also stops oxidation.
-
4
Place and merge
A second copper chest placed beside Waxed Weathered Copper Chest merges with it into a large chest of 54 slots, and sneaking while placing the second chest keeps both separate in Java Edition.
Merging changes the look
A large chest takes the oxidation level of its less oxidized half and counts as unwaxed if either half is unwaxed, so merge two waxed chests to keep the wax.
