Waxed Exposed Copper is a preserved variant of exposed copper, created by applying honeycomb to stop further oxidation. It retains its lightly weathered appearance without progressing to the weathered or oxidized stages.
This block does not spawn naturally and must be crafted by waxing an exposed copper block. It can be mined with a stone pickaxe or better and is used mainly for decoration. Waxed Exposed Copper can also be stonecut into slabs, stairs, and chiseled copper but cannot be reverted into copper ingots. Using an axe removes the wax, allowing oxidation to resume.
