About Waxed Copper Chest
The Waxed Copper Chest is a storage block that works like a standard chest. Right-click it to open the inventory and store or retrieve your items. Because it is waxed, the copper surface will not oxidise or change appearance over time, so it keeps the exact look it had when you waxed it.
Key facts:
- Opens with a right-click and works as a normal chest.
- Waxing prevents oxidation, so the block stays at its current stage permanently.
- Useful for copper builds where you want the colour to remain consistent.
How to get Waxed Copper Chest
You make a Waxed Copper Chest by combining a Copper Chest with honeycomb in a crafting grid. The honeycomb locks the copper and stops it from weathering further. You will need a Copper Chest first, so craft or obtain one before you wax it. The waxed version cannot be found as loot or bought from villagers, so crafting is the main route.
