About the Copper Bulb
The Copper Bulb is a light-emitting block introduced in the Trails & Tales-era copper additions. Unlike most light sources, it is toggled with a redstone signal rather than burning constantly, which makes it a favourite for redstone builds and clean lighting.
Key facts:
- Emits light level 15 when fully unoxidised — dimming as it weathers.
- Toggle its on/off state with any redstone pulse.
- Comes in all four oxidation stages, plus waxed variants that never oxidise.
Apply honeycomb to wax a bulb and lock its current appearance, or use an axe to scrape oxidation back a stage.
