Weathered Cut Copper
Weathered Cut Copper is the third oxidation stage (natural color change) of Cut Copper, showing green with brown patches.
Description
A stonecutter also shapes Weathered Cut Copper into a matching slab, staircase, or chiseled variant, giving builders trim pieces without extra crafting steps. A honeycomb applied to Weathered Cut Copper produces a permanently waxed version that stops further oxidation toward the darker Oxidized stage. An axe scrapes Weathered Cut Copper back one stage to Exposed Cut Copper, while a lightning strike fully deoxidizes nearby copper blocks to their unrusted color. Builders aiming for a mid-rust roof or dome should place Weathered Cut Copper and apply wax right away, before the color drifts any further.

Guide
How to Get and Use Weathered Cut Copper in Minecraft
-
1
Obtain Weathered Copper
Mine an existing Weathered Copper structure with a stone pickaxe or better, or leave an unwaxed Block of Copper in place until natural oxidation reaches the weathered stage.
-
2
Craft the cut variant
Place 4 Weathered Copper blocks in a 2x2 pattern on a crafting table for 4 Weathered Cut Copper, or cut a single Weathered Copper block with a stonecutter for the same yield.
-
3
Shape into trim pieces
Feed Weathered Cut Copper into a stonecutter to produce a matching slab, staircase, or chiseled variant.
-
4
Lock in the color
Apply a honeycomb to Weathered Cut Copper to create a permanently waxed version that stops further oxidation.
-
5
Reverse the stage if needed
Scrape Weathered Cut Copper with an axe to revert to Exposed Cut Copper, or strike Weathered Cut Copper with lightning to fully deoxidize nearby copper.
Unwaxed Weathered Cut Copper keeps aging toward Oxidized Cut Copper over time, so apply wax right after Weathered Cut Copper reaches the desired look.
