This datapack adds a straightforward mechanic: smelting or blasting any copper block advances its oxidation stage by one level. Supported blocks include: - Block of Copper - Cut Copper - Cut Copper Slab - Cut Copper Stairs - Chiseled Copper - Copper Grate - Copper Bulb - Copper Door - Copper Trapdoor
- Copper Chain
- Copper Bars
- Copper Lantern
- Copper Chest How it works: Place any of the copper blocks listed above into a furnace or blast furnace. After smelting, you'll get the next stage of oxidation for that block. Oxidation stages progression: Block of Copper → Exposed Copper → Weathered Copper → Oxidized Copper Note: - Waxed copper blocks cannot be smelted (they are locked and do not oxidize further). - 2 ticks for one block while smelting/blasting - Standard fuel is required. - This datapack does not modify any vanilla recipes or mechanics — only adds smelting recipes for oxidation progression. Supported Minecraft version: 1.21.1 Compatibility: Works with any other datapack or mod that does not override the same smelting recipes. Installation: Place the datapack in your world's datapacks folder. No configuration needed.
