Exposed Cut Copper

Exposed Cut Copper is a weathered variant of cut copper, representing the first stage of oxidation. Over time, it transitions into weathered cut copper, unless waxed with honeycombs to stop oxidation or scraped with an axe to revert to cut copper. It can also be deoxidized by a lightning strike.

It can be crafted from exposed copper blocks or obtained via stonecutting. Exposed cut copper can be further processed into slabs, stairs, and chiseled copper. It has a hardness of 3 and requires a stone pickaxe or better to be mined.
