Usage
Copper blocks have no use except for decoration. They have four stages of weathering (including the initial unweathered state), and advance to the next stage of weathering every 1000–1640 hours (1,200,000–1,967,999 ticks).

'''Prismarine crystals''' are items obtained by defeating [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s. They are used along with [[prismarine shard]]s to craft [[sea lantern]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Guardian]]s and [[elder guardian]]s have a 40% chance and {{frac|1|3}} chance, respectively, of dropping prismarine crystals upon death. The maximum drop count is increased by one per level of [[Looting]].
=== Mining ===
Prismarine crystals are dropped by [[sea lantern]]s when not using a [[Silk Touch]] tool. They drop 2–3 crystals each time, which can be increased to a maximum of 5 using the [[Fortune]] enchantment.

Issues
Issues relating to "Copper block" or "Cut copper" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia
- In real life, copper typically tarnishes to a darker brown color in air due to the buildup of copper oxides and sulfides on the surface. Green oxidation is generally due to copper carbonate and requires carbonate to be present in the atmosphere.
