Copper bars shares the same functionality as its iron counterpart.

Oxidation[]

Like most copper blocks, unwaxed copper bars undergo 4 stages of oxidation:

  • Unoxidized - Normal stage
  • Exposed
  • Weathered
  • Oxidized

Only lightning and axes can reverse the oxidation process. Using a honeycomb on an unwaxed copper bars prevents the oxidation.
