1) Copper golem

Just like the regular golem, the copper golem mob in the Minecraft The Copper Age update can be crafted by placing a carved pumpkin or a Jack o'lantern on top of a block of copper. Simply place the pumpkin on top of the block to spawn the mob and the accompanying copper chest.
You can obtain the carved pumpkin by using shears on a regular pumpkin, while the Jack o'lantern can be made by placing a torch with it. Meanwhile, you can get a block of copper by placing nine copper ingots in the crafting bench. You can use a block of copper with any level of oxidation to craft the golem.
2) Copper Golem statue

Unlike the mob, the copper golem statue in the Minecraft The Copper Age update cannot be crafted. The copper golem naturally oxidises over time, and once it reaches the maximum level of oxidation, it is converted into this statue. Once turned into a statue, it drops whatever item it was holding and takes one of four unique poses.
If you want to create a copper golem statue, you will have to let the mob oxidise naturally until it reaches peak oxidation and freezes into a statue. You can do this by letting it happen naturally and not waxing the entity, resulting in the decay that creates this unique block.
3) Copper chest

The copper chest can be crafted using a chest and eight ingots of copper. Simply craft a chest with eight planks of any wood and place it in the center of the crafting table's grid. Then, place eight ingots around the chest as shown above to receive one chest.
Just like the mob, the copper chest oxidises over time. However, it can be waxed using a honeycomb to prevent decay. This unique variant of the chest can be interacted with by any copper golems and used for sorting. You can place two chests next to each other to craft a lager chest.
4) Copper weapons and armor
The Minecraft The Copper Age update will also introduce an array of armor variants made with copper, as well as the copper sword. Here's the recipe for each:
Copper sword

The copper sword is a copper variant of the sword and can be crafted using two ingots and a stick. Simply place the items in the format shown above to obtain it.

5) Copper Tools
Apart from armor and weapons, the Minecraft The Copper Age update also introduced copper variants of the regular tools, adding a new level of durability. Here's how you can craft them:
Copper axe

The copper axe is a copper variant of the regular tool and can be crafted using three copper ingots and two sticks. Place the items in the template shown above to obtain it.
Copper hoe

You can craft the copper hoe using two ingots of copper and two sticks. Place them following the template shown above to obtain the item.

6) Copper decorations
The Minecraft The Copper Age update also introduced a host of copper decorations and variants of existing blocks. It added the copper bars, chains, lantern, and torch.
Here's how you can craft them:
Copper torch

This variant of the regular torch can be crafted using a copper nugget, a stick, and a piece of coal or charcoal. Place the items in the format shown above to obtain four copper torches.
Copper lantern

The copper lantern is a unique copper style of the regular lantern and can be crafted using eight copper nuggets and a copper torch in the format above. Place a copper ingot in the crafting table to obtain nuggets. Next, place them around the torch to obtain the block.
Copper chain

The copper chain is a variant of the regular chain block and can be crafted using two copper nuggets and a copper ingot. Place the items in the template shown above to obtain one chain.
Additionally, you can place a honeycomb next to a copper chain while crafting to obtain a waxed copper chain to prevent its oxidation. However, oxidation provides four unique shades depending on the level of degradation and can be considered variants.
Copper bar

The copper bar is another item in the list of copper decorations in Minecraft The Copper Age update. You can craft it by placing six ingots of copper next to each other as shown above, obtaining 16 bars as a result. Similar to the other blocks, it goes through oxidation that results in four different shades based on the level.
6) Shelf

Apart from copper items and blocks, the Minecraft The Copper Age update will also introduce the shelf. These nifty items allow players to hot-swap blocks, weapons, and tools with ease. Additionally, it is a more efficient alternative to using the item frame.
You can craft the shelf using six matching stripped logs or blocks of stripped Bamboo. Additionally, matching stripped stems can be used to craft the item as well. However, mixing up types of wood will not yield the block. Once obtained, place them in the format shown above to receive six shelves in Minecraft.
