Post-generation[]
Copper golem statues are created when a copper golem gets fully oxidized. It will freeze in any pose and drop any items that it holds.
Usage[]
Posing[]
Copper Golem Statues can change its pose by interacting with it. It cycles through four poses:
- Standing - Normal/Default
- Sitting
- Running
- Star
Oxidation[]
Like most copper blocks, unwaxed copper golem statues 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 golem statue prevents the oxidation.
Using an axe on an unwaxed unoxidized copper golem statue reverts it back to a normal unwaxed unoxidized copper golem.
Interacting by Redstone[]
Redstone Comparators can read the state of a copper golem statue. It emits a redstone signal strength based on its pose.
| Pose | Intensity |
|---|---|
| Default | 1 |
| Sitting | 2 |
| Running | 3 |
| Star | 4 |

Trivia[]
- Waxed Weathered Copper Golem Statue will be the longest name of a block, at 35 characters including spaces and 31 without, surpassing polished blackstone pressure plate and cracked polished blackstone bricks.
- When in a star pose, the statue seemed to be a bit off-centred from the block selection outline. However, it has been fixed in Snapshot 25w34b [1]
