Every new copper feature confirmed in the Minecraft fall game drop 2025

Copper bar

Copper bars are one of the new blocks that players will be able to make using copper in Minecraft's next game drop.

Six copper ingots can be placed on the crafting table to create copper bars. Since they are made of copper, they also have four distinct oxidation variations after being created and placed. Copper bars can be waxed with a honeycomb, and their oxidation can be scraped with an axe. They can be a great decorative block for certain themes in structures.

Copper chain

Mojang will also add copper chains to Minecraft with the fall game drop. One copper ingot and two copper nuggets arranged vertically on a crafting table will give players the new copper chain.

Like any other copper block, these chains also have four oxidation stages, and their oxidation can be scraped using an axe. Honeycomb can also be applied to them to stop the oxidation.

Copper chest

Copper chests are a fascinating new kind of block coming to Minecraft with the fall game drop. It can either be crafted on a crafting table or spawned with a copper golem. Its main purpose in the game is to work with a copper golem. The latter primarily interacts with a copper chest, taking any item from it and putting it in other regular chests.

The copper chest is made when a copper golem is spawned with a copper block and a carved pumpkin. Alternatively, placing eight copper ingots and one chest on a crafting table will also yield a copper chest.

The new block can only be utilized as a standard chest that players can open if there isn't a copper golem nearby.

Copper golem

One of the most exciting features of the Minecraft fall game drop is the copper golem. It was a mob vote candidate in Minecraft Live 2021, but it was defeated by Allay. The creature will now be a permanent addition to the game.

A carved pumpkin and a copper block can be used to spawn a copper golem. After it is constructed, it will start searching its copper chest for any items and then put them in either a chest containing the same item or an empty ordinary chest.

By automating the procedure, the copper golem will eliminate a player's concerns about sorting items.

This golem can also be oxidized as time goes by. After it reaches its maximum oxidation level, it will freeze and become a statue. This statue is essentially a decorative block that players can place anywhere in their base. The copper golem statue will also have four different poses, which players can cycle through.

Copper lantern

Another new light-emitting block that will be added to Minecraft shortly is the copper lantern. This block will emit 15 light levels, just as a standard lantern. In contrast to how a copper bulb's light dims after oxidizing, the new lantern will maintain the same light level even if it oxidizes.

Eight copper nuggets and one copper torch can be used to make a copper lantern. The standard oxidation, oxidation scraping, and waxing procedures also apply to this new block, as it is composed completely of copper.

Copper torch

The copper torch is another new light block that will soon be available in Minecraft. It resembles a standard torch, but its tip is green since it is burning copper and coal. One copper nugget, one coal, and one stick can be used to craft a copper torch. It emits light level 14, which is the same as that of a standard torch.

Copper gear

Along with all these new copper features, Mojang will also add new copper tools, weapons, and armor to Minecraft with the fall game drop. Now, players can use copper to make shovels, pickaxes, swords, and armor parts. In terms of durability and strength, this set of tools and weapons falls between stone and iron. Copper armor will also sit between leather and iron armor sets.

New players will be able to create tools that stone considerably more quickly because copper is slightly more common than iron.

Copper horse armor

Copper horse armor is also arriving soon in Minecraft. Like the majority of horse armor, players will not be able to build this one. It will only be available as chest loot. The new horse armor will be as uncommon as the iron horse armor in terms of rarity.

This means that while exploring structures such as Monster Rooms, Desert Pyramids, End Cities, Jungle Pyramids, Strongholds, etc., players can discover either copper or iron horse armor. It has four armor points, which is more than leather but less than iron horse armor.

Copper nugget

Copper nuggets are another item type that will be added to Minecraft with the fall game drop. This new item is identical to an iron nugget and can be crafted by placing one copper ingot in a crafting slot. It can then be used to create the various new copper-related items and blocks mentioned above.
