Copper Oxidation
by Zawarka
Copper Oxidation lets players oxidize copper blocks with bottle water, a mechanic that otherwise does not apply to copper in vanilla play.
What it does
Copper blocks can be oxidized by using bottle water on them, and the mod adds this action to the game. Some copper blocks need a sneaking player to trigger the change, including chests, doors, trapdoors and copper golem statues. The oxidate block and golem need a right-click with bottle water.
Waxed copper cannot be oxidized, so waxing remains a way to stop the process on blocks a player wants to keep unchanged. Copper Oxidation requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and both must be installed alongside it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the mod is published for Fabric with server platform support for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia across 33 release versions, 1.17 – 26.2.
Key features
Bottle water oxidation
Copper blocks take on oxidation stages when a player uses bottle water on them.
Sneak-based triggers
Chests, doors, trapdoors and copper golem statues oxidize only while the player is sneaking.
Waxed copper protection
Waxed copper blocks cannot be oxidized, so players can keep chosen blocks in their current state.
Oxidate block and golem
An oxidate block and a golem each oxidize copper when used with bottle water, extending the effect beyond manual use.
