Fire up the furnace for The Copper Age drop!

Copper is your canvas. Whether you're bonding with a mechanical companion, showcasing prized trophies, or transforming a cluttered corner into a sleek armor factory, this update invites players to reimagine their home base and make it truly their own.

Copper golem

Copper golems are handy, organization-loving companions that'll bring your base to life! Summoned with copper and carved pumpkins, the copper golem removes items you leave in copper chests, and sorts them based on the item type into chests around your base!

Copper chest

Copper chests are a new block! Summon a copper golem to get your firstccopper chest, which you can leave to oxidize, or keep pristine with wax. Drop items into a copper chest, and then sit back and relax as your copper golem sorts them into normal chests around your base!

Copper Armor, Weapons, & Tools 

Copper is officially an equipment tier! Its durability and speed sit somewhere between stone and iron, which reflects onto the tools, weapons, and armor you craft from it. Unlike copper blocks, these items won't oxidize, but like all copper blocks - they will look beautiful!

Shelf blocks

Shelves are a new type of container block that can display up to three items in an easily accessible way. To display an item, players simply have to hold it in their main hand and then interact with the shelf. If there's an item in the selected slot already, it will be swapped out and returned to the player's main hand.

Powered shelves

Players can create powered shelves using redstone. Powered shelves can be connected to one another when facing the same way and will swap out multiple items located in the player's hotbar. This creates really convenient opportunities for swapping out inventory between tasks or adventures, in addition to providing decorative space.
