Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue

Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue is a decorative statue whose green, brown-spotted weathered stage stays fixed because honeycomb stops oxidation.

Description

Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue is crafted from one Weathered Copper Golem Statue and one Honeycomb, and the wax locks the statue at its third oxidation stage. The weathered stage is green with brown spots, and the waxed statue never advances to the teal oxidized stage. A Copper Golem turns into a statue only when fully oxidized and unwaxed, so a weathered statue reaches a builder by scraping an Oxidized Copper Golem Statue once with an axe. Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue has existed since Java Edition 1.21.9 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.111.

Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue cycles through four poses (standing, sitting, running, and star) each time a player uses the block, and the chosen pose stays when the statue is broken. A Redstone Comparator reads the pose as signal strength 1 for standing, 2 for sitting, 3 for running, and 4 for star. A pickaxe breaks the statue fastest, and water can fill the same space because the statue is waterloggable. Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue emits no light and is not flammable.

Guide

How to get a Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Get an oxidized statue

    Wait until an unwaxed Copper Golem standing fully in air reaches the oxidized stage, and the Copper Golem petrifies into a statue with a 0.58% chance per tick (8.62 seconds on average).

  2. 2

    Scrape to the weathered stage

    Use an axe once on the Oxidized Copper Golem Statue, because an axe removes one oxidation stage at a time and leaves a Weathered Copper Golem Statue.

  3. 3

    Wax with honeycomb

    Combine the Weathered Copper Golem Statue with one Honeycomb in the crafting grid to craft the Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue.

  4. 4

    Place and pose

    Place the Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue and use the block repeatedly to cycle through the standing, sitting, running, and star poses.

Pistons break the statue

Keep Pistons away from the Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue, because a push breaks the statue and a Piston cannot pull the statue.

Frequently asked questions

Can a Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue turn back into a Copper Golem?

No. Only an unoxidized, unwaxed Copper Golem Statue revives into a Copper Golem when scraped with an axe.

Do I need an empty hand to change the pose?

Bedrock Edition requires an empty hand to cycle through poses, while Java Edition changes the pose with any item in hand.

Is the Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue renewable?

Yes. A new Copper Golem is built by placing a Block of Copper and then a Carved Pumpkin on top, and the Copper Golem can later oxidize into a statue.

What happens to the items a Copper Golem holds when it becomes a statue?

The Copper Golem drops any held items during the transformation.
