3. Mine the Deepslate Copper Ore
The game control to mine the deepslate copper ore depends on the version of Minecraft:

For Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.

For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.

You will need to continue to mine until the block breaks and a smaller block of deepslate copper ore finally appears. The deepslate copper ore will float on the ground.
TIP: Normally when you mine deepslate copper ore, you get raw copper as the drop. However, when you mine the deepslate copper ore using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch, you will get the deepslate copper ore itself as the drop.

Make sure you pick up the deepslate copper ore before it disappears.
Once you pick up the deepslate copper ore, it will appear in your hotbar.
Deepslate copper ore is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
