Xbox 360	No

4 Stages of how Copper ages

In Minecraft, copper naturally ages in 4 different stages.

exposed copper

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).

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.
