Talk:Block of Copper

Split proposal

 * The following discussion &#32;of a proposed split is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * The result of the discussion was do not split
 * The blocks have almost no use except decoration and it would be inconsistant with the Sandstone articleHumiebeetalk contribs 22:00, 13 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I'd say no, since the block appears to operate in the same vein as Stone Bricks and Nether Bricks, meaning they should be on the same page because they are part of the same block. Waxed Copper should also be on the same page, since, like red nether bricks, it requires a separate item to craft. PixelPickaxe (talk) 01:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't see why a graphical variant of a decoration block with the same mechanics should be separated. SuperCofee (talk) 00:17, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * for the same reasons above. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 00:20, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * , as long as cut sandstone remains on the Sandstone page, this should not be split.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 02:57, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I think that the split idea could be done by the following reasons:


 * The Copper Block and Cut Copper blocks work differently.
 * Copper Blocks are used as storage blocks, while Cut Copper is a decorative block that can be cut into stairs and slabs.

However, the split also couldn't be done by the following reasons.


 * Both oxidize, and they are very similar on looking. Also, as comments above said, Cut Sandstone is with Sandstone, so for parity reasons they should stay.


 * At a personal opinion, I think that this discussion is over, as many here said that they oppose. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 07:02, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I have removed the split template.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 12:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Not even a day of discussion can NOT define if there is a consensus. Give at least a week for people to pop up with opinions. Dhranios (talk) 12:07, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That's why I said "personal opinion". I'll wait until a complete concensus. And it's true, people need to share their thoughts about this. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 13:14, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * (again) becuase a week has passed and ALL the comments are oppose. :PHumiebeetalk contribs 21:45, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * while yes, copper blocks are technically storage blocks, theyre arguably mainly a decorative block, have almost all the same functions as cut copper, and are extremely similar. to build onto the sandstone/cut sandstone analogy, you could argue that sandstone is a storage block for other sandstone variants, because you can craft them into the other sandstone variants. however, there is no argument about sandstone and sandstone variants being split. Imgntn (talk) 18:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The different variants of sandstone are merged, as are the different variants of stone bricks. The regular copper block has no special properties. And waxed copper should definitely not be split, since it looks exactly the same as unwaxed copper. Blobs2 (talk) 04:43, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

 * - I oposse too. Copper is confusing because of all thier variants so it will be more understandable if all is in one page. Also, copper blocks all come from the same thing, so it should be in the same page. Now, more than a week passed since the beggining of this discussion, and all opinions say oppose, so I think it is time to remove the split template. -Peruvian Ball (talk) 14:18, 13 November 2020 (UTC)


 * because these blocks have no use but for decoration(besides the fact that non-weathered non-cut copper blocks can be used as a compact storage for copper ingots). It isn't useful to split this article up. Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 17:20, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Cleaning up the page
i kinda feel like this page should be cleaned up a bit, i mean like "Waxed Copper or Waxed Lightly Weathered Copper or Waxed Semi-Weathered Copper or Waxed Cut Copper or Waxed Lightly Weathered Cut Copper or Waxed Semi-Weathered Cut Copper" seems a little excessive (same for cut copper), maybe just lump it all as "Waxed copper" and "Cut copper" and then have like one of those gifs that rotate thru the diff amounts of weatheredness. whats yalls opinions on this? --Imgntn (talk) 17:28, 7 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is a good idea. However, there aren't different types of copper, there are different clasifications. The "Waxed Semi-Weathered Cut Copper" copper its a Waxed copper, with semi-weathered age, and its a cut copper. What I am trying to say is that there are different ways to group copper blocks (because, of what I understand, there are more than 30 copper blocks) and we should put them all. However, placing all the copper blocks separated can be also a good idea, because we could write what are the different building uses for each block. --Peruvian Ball (talk) 14:24, 13 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I mean, like just for the crafting recipes. It's a bit of an eyesore. I do see your point though, its a pretty good point. --Imgntn (talk) 15:25, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Not really as the wiki says that the in game name should be used. (MCW:Style guide)Humiebeetalk contribs 21:50, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Weathered Copper BlocK
Why does this block has a capital K? I'm talking about the MC-203555 bug. --83.142.57.33 20:22, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

21w05 oxidation changes?
The article currently says:

"They have four stages of weathering (including the initial unweathered state), and advance to the next stage of weathering every 50–82 in-game days (1,200,000–1,967,999 game ticks, 1000–1640 minutes, or 16 h 40 min – 27 h 20 min)."

This may have been true before 21w05a, but in that update it was changed to use random ticks, which should mean that it's probabilistic rather than having a set range of possible times. Like, it would be extremely unlikely, but a copper block could in principle oxidize immediately after you place it. It also seems to me like being next to an already oxidized block improves the chances of oxidation.

If someone could look into the code for more precise mechanics it would be great, but at least the current text should be removed because it's no longer accurate I think. CrCl3 (talk) 08:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
