Block of Copper

The block of copper is a decorative block that oxidize over time, gaining a viridian appearance. It can be crafted into a waxed version that do not oxidize. They can also be crafted back into four copper ingots, unless they have started to oxidize, been waxed, or crafted into the cut variant.

Obtaining
Drowned can drop copper ingots, making copper blocks, slabs, stairs and lightning rods renewable resources.

Breaking
Blocks of copper can be mined only with a stone pickaxe or better. If a block of copper is mined without the use of a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Usage
Blocks of copper can be used to store copper ingots in a compact fashion. Weathered, waxed, or cut variants cannot be crafted back into copper ingots. The cut variant can be crafted into slabs or stairs.

They have four stages of weathering (including the initial unweathered state). Advancing to the next stage of weathering relies on random ticks, and as such doesn't work in spawn chunks and other permanently loaded chunks, unless there is a player nearby.
