Minecraft copper was added in the long-awaited 1.17 Caves and Cliffs Update. This update was part of Mojang's pledge to the community that it would enhance the mountain and cave systems. Alongside copper, the update added new Minecraft mobs like adorable mountain goats and sweet axolotls.



The colourful new resource has many aspects, but a amusing feature that experienced gamers will appreciate is that Minecraft copper turns green when exposed to the elements, making it an unusual building material. Copper is a great material for many purposes, including building. Djw360 But what is the best way to get it?





What is copper used to do in Minecraft?


Building

Copper is a great block to use in industrial-style Minecraft designs like factories due to its clean-cut or oxidised appearance. The oxidization process results in four distinct colors of copper, from the natural orange copper look to the Verdigris appearance. Copper is among the most distinctive items in Minecraft's inventory of building materials.



There are four different variations of the standard smooth block of Copper however, the same is true for slabs, stairs and cut copper too. Making Copper blocks in survival mode will result only in the original version. It is recommended to leave it out for a while to see the colour change. To avoid any of the stages of oxidisation, you need to combine the block with honeycomb in a Crafting Table, which will result in a block of wax that will not be oxidised.





Lightning Rods

Copper can be used in the construction of lightning rods. These semi-defensive objects attract lightning during lightning strikes and divert it away from any flammable wood or wool structures. Three copper ingots are required to make lightning rods.



Redstone circuits can also use lightning rods. Copper emits an redstone signal after being struck by lightning. The uncertainty of the lightning strikes can give a randomised effect.





Farm of the Charged Creeper

A Charged Creeper farm is yet another fantastic use for the lightning rod. Charged Creepers are not created naturally in vanilla Minecraft, and are created when the Creeper is hit by lightning. You already know that when you are too close to the Creeper it explodes, but get too close to a Charged Creeper and it deals an even more devastating blow. Why should you let them be your farm?



Well, interestingly, Charged Creepers are the only method to acquire a specific decorative item you might not even be aware is available in vanilla Minecraft: Mob heads. Although Skeleton mob heads were the first to be officially added to the inventory of survival in 1.18 with the addition of Ancient Cities, no other mob head can be obtained in vanilla Minecraft without the Charged Creeper getting involved. A Charged Creeper can kill a mob to gain its own head as an item. Therefore, you can create a simple mob farm with a lightning rod to send thunder-struck strikes at your base, and decorate your walls with your favorite mob's headless heads. Nice.





Spyglass crafting recipe

Another item that you can create in Minecraft using copper is the spyglass. Two copper ingots and one Minecraft Amethyst Shard are required to make the spyglass. The item was introduced in the Caves and Cliffs updates. The spyglass can be used to focus and zoom in on a specific point in your field of view. While looking down at the lens, your speed of walking will slow down.





Where to mine copper for raw in Minecraft

Copper is found underground between levels 112-16. To mine it, you'll need an axe made of stone. Since it is possible to find Copper below the Y-level of 0, you could find it as the Deepslate variant, which takes longer to break. Copper Ore is mined without the Silk Touch Minecraft Enchantment. Copper Ore is dropped raw in the same manner as other ores. It is then melting in a furnace or blast Furnace. The Ore block will fall by itself if you utilize Silk Touch.



Copper is quite a common ore, so you'll be able to find plenty without even trying. If, however, you are specifically seeking the shiny orange color your best bet is to go with the Y-level 48.
