A copper chain is an oxidizing directional block and the copper variant of chains.

Obtaining

Breaking

Copper chains can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, they drop nothing.

Usage

For information about the placement mechanics of all chains, see Chain § Usage.

Copper chains share much of the functionality as with their iron counterparts.

Oxidation

Main article: Oxidation

Non-waxed copper chains have four stages of oxidation (including the initial normal state). Lightning bolts and axes can remove the oxidation on copper chains. They can be waxed with honeycomb to prevent oxidation from progressing.

As the block begins to oxidize (exposed), it gets discolored and green spots begin to appear. As the oxidation continues (weathered), the block is a green color with brown spots. In the last stage (oxidized), the block is teal with several green spots.
