- The four colors of a copper bar are based on its oxidation level and can be locked using honeycombs.
With the upcoming Fall drop, Minecraft is adding new copper bars to the game. While the iron bars come in a single color, the copper bars have four different hues based on their oxidation levels. This means you can use copper bars to add more detail to your base. So, follow the detailed steps in this guide to make copper bars in Minecraft.
Items Required to Make Copper Bars in Minecraft
Copper bars require only a single ingredient— copper ingots. All you need is six copper ingots that can give you 16 copper bars.
While the copper ingots can be easily obtained from smelting raw copper, the crafting table can be made using four wooden planks of any type. You will find raw copper from its ores all around the overworld if you do a bit of mining around Y level = 43. Otherwise, explore the mountain peaks to find exposed copper ores as well.
How to Make a Copper Bar in Minecraft
Once you collect the ingredients, follow the steps below to make copper bars in Minecraft:
- Place a crafting table and right-click to open its UI.
- Fill up the first two rows of the crafting table with six copper ingots.
- Now, you will see there are 16 copper bars available on the right.
- Simply drag and drop the copper bars in your inventory.
Best Uses of Copper Bars in Minecraft
The copper bars can only be used as decorations in Minecraft. Apart from this, there are no uses for these items. If you were searching for a way to bring color to your Minecraft house build where the silver iron bars don’t really match your aesthetic, the copper bars are what you need.
The copper bars come in four different colors based on their oxidation state. The base, unoxidized copper bars are orange in color, exposed bars are orange with green spots, weathered bars are green with orange spots, and the oxidized bars are completely green in color.
Oxidation takes place over time, and hence, you might need to wait a while before using the green copper bar variants. Moreover, you can fix the state of a copper bar by waxing it using honeycomb. O
therwise, if you want to bring back the orange color of the bars, consider scraping off the same with an axe.
That ends the guide on how you can make the copper bars in Minecraft, along with their uses. Have you tried making the new copper armor and tools? Let us know in the comments below.
