Block of Copper

# How to make a Copper Block in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a copper block with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a copper block is a new type of block that was introduced in the Caves & Cliffs Update: Part I.

Let's explore how to make a copper block.

## Supported Platforms

A copper block is available in the following versions of Minecraft:

 Pocket Edition (PE)
 Xbox 360
 Xbox One
 PS3
 PS4
 Wii U
 Nintendo Switch
 Windows 10 Edition
 Education Edition

\* The version that it was added or removed, if applicable.

NOTE: Pocket Edition (PE), Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows 10 Edition are now called Bedrock Edition. We will continue to show them individually for version history.

## 4 Stages of how Copper ages

In Minecraft, copper naturally ages in 4 different stages.

At each stage, the color/appearance of the copper changes as does the block name. Here are the 4 stages of copper aging:

 Second Stage
 Third Stage
 Fourth Stage

As the copper ages, the block changes from copper (*which is a shiny brown*) into exposed copper (*which is brown with green flecks*). Next, the exposed copper turns into weathered copper (*which is green with brown flecks*). Finally, weathered copper turns into oxidized copper (*which is a solid green color*).

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

### 2. Add Items to make a Copper Block

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a copper block, place 9 copper ingots in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a copper block, it is important that the copper ingots are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 copper ingots. In the second row, there should be 3 copper ingots. In the third row, there should be 3 copper ingots. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a copper block.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the copper block will appear in the box to the right.

### 3. Move the Copper Block to Inventory

Once you have crafted a copper block, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a copper block in Minecraft!
