The Fastest Way to Oxidize Copper

Tutorial Difficulty: 2/10

Say, that new copper block is rather lovely, isn't it? Incredibly hard work to find and make, of course, but I once read on a motivational poster in my doctor’s office that “nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, and difficulty.” I'm about eighty percent sure it was talking about Minecraft copper, but I'm too afraid to go back and check before my next yearly cleaning.

Anyway, let me tell you my thoughts about copper: I wish it oxidized faster. I'm a busy woman with lots of things to do, and I can't just wait around while my copper roof slooooowwwlllyyy turns that lovely shade of minty-green! I'm the kind of gal who bone-meals all my crops and upgrades my shovel and pickaxe to Efficiency V as soon as I am able, so the idea of having to be patient terrifies me.

Luckily, I don't have to be patient. Or, well, I don't have to be patient for long. Xisumavoid, a prominent Minecraft YouTuber whose name is downright impossible to pronounce (Ex-umavoid? Izumavoid? Shissumavoid? Siswammyvoid?) tried out various ways of aging copper in order to figure out what worked best. And by best, I mean fastest.
