Waxed Weathered Copper Grate
Waxed Weathered Copper Grate is a transparent, waterloggable copper block coated in honeycomb wax to lock in its greenish, brown-spotted weathered look forever.
Description
Waxed Weathered Copper Grate generates naturally inside trial chambers, where waxed copper grates of every oxidation stage line corridor walls and floors as walkways, sometimes ending in a dead end guarded by a chest. Builders reach for this stage when a build needs an aged, greenish copper look that stops changing for good, unlike unwaxed grates that keep oxidizing toward the darker oxidized stage. Stacking up to 64 per slot, it is a light, see-through building material well suited for windows, fences, and industrial-style catwalks that call for a weathered copper finish.

4
Place the waxed grate
Place Waxed Weathered Copper Grate where a see-through, non-conductive copper block is needed — it can be waterlogged and never oxidizes further.

Frequently asked questions
Does Waxed Weathered Copper Grate keep oxidizing?
No. Waxing with a Honeycomb locks the block at its current weathered stage permanently, so it never progresses to the oxidized stage.
What tool do I need to mine Waxed Weathered Copper Grate?
A stone pickaxe or better is required; mining it with anything weaker, or without a pickaxe at all, drops nothing.
Can Waxed Weathered Copper Grate be waterlogged?
Yes, it accepts water like other copper grates, and it does not conduct redstone or let mobs spawn on top.
Why does Waxed Weathered Copper Grate look different from Oxidized Copper Grate?
Waxed Weathered Copper Grate is stuck at the weathered stage — a green color with brown spots — one step before the teal, oxidized stage with more green spots.
Is Waxed Weathered Copper Grate renewable?
Yes, both the Weathered Copper Grate and the Honeycomb needed to make it are renewable resources.
