This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft exposed copper with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, exposed copper is a new block that was introduced in the Caves & Cliffs Update: Part I. Exposed copper is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

Let’s explore how to add exposed copper to your inventory.

4 Stages of how Copper ages

In Minecraft, copper naturally ages in 4 different stages.

At each stage, the color/appearance of the copper changes as does the block name. Here are the 4 stages of copper aging:

Aging Block Appearance
First Stage Copper Shiny brown
Second Stage Exposed Copper Brown with green flecks
Third Stage Weathered Copper Green with brown flecks
Fourth Stage Oxidized Copper Green

As the copper ages, the block changes from copper (which is a shiny brown) into exposed copper (which is brown with green flecks). Next, the exposed copper turns into weathered copper (which is green with brown flecks). Finally, weathered copper turns into oxidized copper (which is a solid green color).
