Let’s explore how to make a copper block.

4 Stages of how Copper ages

In Minecraft, copper naturally ages in 4 different stages.

Copper Block - Wiki Guide 2

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

Aging	Block	Appearance
First Stage	Copper	Shiny brown
Second Stage	Exposed Copper	Brown with green flecks
Third Stage	Weathered Copper	Green with brown flecks
Fourth Stage	Oxidized Copper	Green

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).
