During Minecraft Live on September 30, 2025, it was announced that the exciting “Copper Age” update is set to launch in just three days!
Staying true to the spirit of Minecraft, this update introduces a plethora of new features, beyond just the oxidation of copper items to a green hue. Players can look forward to discovering a lot of fresh content and enhancements.
Overview of Minecraft’s ‘Copper Age’ Update
A brief summary of the new features in the ‘Copper Age’ update includes:
- Oxidizing copper items: Many copper objects—like lightning rods, lanterns, and chains—will oxidize, turning green. Players can prevent this by applying wax.
- Copper golems: These helpers are crafted from carved pumpkins and copper, assisting in organizing your chests. Without regular waxing, they will oxidize into statues.
- Golem interactions: Iron golems will gift flowers to copper golems, which they will carry on their heads.
- Copper chests: Like other copper items, these will oxidize unless waxed. They can first be obtained by summoning a copper golem.
- Copper tools and weapons: This new equipment tier will not oxidize, sitting between iron and stone in terms of usability. Copper armor fares better than leather but is not as durable as iron.
- Shelves: These blocks will allow players to display up to three items while offering an organized storage solution. Redstone can power them for easy item swaps.
Minecraft: A Continually Evolving Game
Minecraft continues to impress with its consistent updates, making it one of the most played games globally. This fresh content keeps dedicated fans engaged while enticing those who’ve taken breaks to return.
Anticipation builds as players, including myself, look forward to the new decorating possibilities that oxidizing copper will bring. With Halloween around the corner, I’m eager to create a haunted mansion adorned with green lanterns and chains—contrasted by vibrant orange pumpkins.
The exciting ‘Copper Age’ update will be available to players on September 30, 2025, bringing a wave of new gameplay elements to explore!
