Thirsty Copper
by Kathereine
Thirsty Copper lets water thrown at copper blocks speed up their oxidation, one stage per throw, through a data pack.
What it does
Throwing water at a copper block in a water cauldron advances its oxidation by one stage. Waxed copper blocks do not oxidize this way. The behavior is provided by a data pack, so the mod has no separate code beyond it.
Installation is for the server, and players connecting to it do not need the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering game versions 1.21 – 1.21.10, and the code is under All rights reserved.
Key features
Faster copper oxidation
Thrown water advances copper through its oxidation stages more quickly than natural weathering.
Cauldron-based stages
Each throw at a copper block in a water cauldron moves it forward by one oxidation stage.
Waxed blocks unaffected
Waxed copper blocks cannot be oxidized by thrown water, so protected builds keep their color.

What the author says
This is a simple datapack allows you to throw copper into water or a water cauldron to oxidize it by one stage. Waxed blocks cannot be oxidized this way. To oxidize the copper more you have to throw it back into the water.
