Block of Copper

This item is part of vanilla Minecraft. More information can be found at: Minecraft Wiki: Block of Copper

This article is about the block. For the ore, see Copper Ore. For other forms of copper, see Copper.

The Block of Copper is a decorative storage block equivalent to nine Copper Ingots. The block will oxidize, slowly becoming a blue-green color.

Cut Copper, Copper Shingles, and Copper Tiles are purely decorative variants of the copper block and cannot be converted back into ingot form.
