EPIC FIND: NEW Copper & Tuff Blocks in Minecraft 1.21 Update!

Hello everyone my name is pixel Rifts and welcome back to a new Snapshot video this is going to be looking at snapshot 23w 43a which is the newest 1.2.3 snapshot although it does contain experimental features for Minecraft 1.21 which is what we’re going to be checking

Out today in survival mode first of all I will let you folks know that if you need to get hold of these experimental features for any reason you can’t add them to existing worlds without going in and editing the NBT data of Your World and if you’re planning on doing that

Take a backup but it can be a bit of a fiddly process so not something that you can do just from the select World menu here instead we’re going to create a new world we’re going to go to experiments we’re going to switch update 1.21 on

We’re going to ignore the other two for now since we’re not ready interested in testing those in this video and we’re going to call this 23 w43 a snapshot survival we’re going to leave difficulty on normal and leave the game mode on survival and we’re going to start up a

New world to go looking for what’s been added in in this snapshot because I’m very excited about this one we should have new tough and copper blocks to play around with along with a bit of a visual change to bats looks like we’re starting here in a very cold biome so I’ll just

Do the usual thing of punching my way down through this tree so we have enough Woods to get us started and then obviously a lot of the meat and potatoes of this update is going to be in the caving so I’m going to go and find a

Decent cave that we can get down into towards deep slate level hopefully grab some copper along the way and we’ll pick up some tough from the lower levels of the world and return to the surface to see what it can do now from my starting

Tree I saw a cave on the side of this hill and even though it’s just going to go through to the other side I can’t resist going on through and seeing what’s there these always feel like natural picture frames to me nothing super interesting here but here’s our

First coal at least and there’s some Emerald or up there which is always a good omen for me but now you’re talking it looks like we’re coming up to a pit which is going to lead down into perfect a dripstone cave an ideal source of copper here in the early game and

There’s even some copper waiting for me in this wall over here now naturally we’re not going to be able to make any tools with this copper so it doesn’t help the progression at all but it does help with the Quest for more copper blocks I’m going to split the copper

Between these two furnaces just so it can cook a little bit faster and we’ve also got some iron across the way on the opposite side and there’s even some more copper on the way convenient now my main question is to get these new copper blocks am I going to need to craft a

Stone cutter because right now the stone cutter is the ideal companion for copper blocks considering that it can convert regular copper into cut copper in a 1:4 ratio which is better than the 1: one you get in the crafting table let’s start by crafting a single copper block

And seeing if our recipes expand from there they do the recipes have unlocked and it does look like a handful of them can use the stone cutter so that’s that question answered I’m going to put the iron in this top furnace and move the rest of the copper into there I’m going

To grab the resources for another furnace so that we can quickly smelt some Stone because we will need three smooth Stone to make ourselves a stone cutter and in the meantime I can start using some of with this iron to get upgrades to my tools we’ve got the iron

Pickaxe done we can make a stone cutter now and now it’s time to throw this block of copper into a stone cutter and take a look at some of these new things first of all we have chiseled copper which again is a 1:4 ratio from a block of copper where presumably you would

Have to craft that somehow maybe even with cut copper slabs and then we have copper grates which are also a one to four fantastic can’t wait to smelt a bit more copper so that we can make some of these without sacrificing our only copper block there we go let’s make one

Set of each we’ll make chiseled copper out of that one and copper grate out of that one but I want to look in the craftable stuff in here and see if the copper recipes appear obviously they can be waxed so that does confirm that they age similar to regular copper so the

Copper grate is four copper blocks in a crafting table in this diamond shape and you end up with four copper grates for four blocks so using the stone cutter is definitely better for those and the chiseled copper only gives me waxed chiseled copper when I searched for it

In the recipe book even though I should have unlocked the recipe for this oh you can do the same thing with cut copper slabs okay it’s just cuz I hadn’t produced any slabs yet it hadn’t learned the recipe for them interesting so you can get that out of the stone cutter

Before you learn to craft it using cut copper slabs well either way now we’ve got a hold of eight of these and I’m going to use this little hole in the wall as my base before we go any deeper into the cavern here but we’ll need to

Go down and get hold of some tough because the tough variants look really cool to work with but here’s another interesting thing we also have copper doors and trap doors being added in this update along with the copper bulb but those aren’t crafted using ingots you can’t use six copper ingots or four

Copper ingots to make a trap door in the same way that you can with four iron ingots to make an iron trap door it also doesn’t show up in the stone cutter at all I don’t think you can just put ingots in there and I’m fairly certain

That none of the copper blocks that we have made so far have come up with the recipe for the trapdoor so I wonder what’s up with that the the copper trapo recipe is here and it does require six blocks of copper for two copper trap doors so that’s really quite expensive

Especially compared to the iron trapo I will at least be able to get the material for copper trap doors and presumably the Copper Door is going to be six blocks but in the door orientation the same thing you would make out of wood planks but once again

When you’re using an iron door you don’t need iron blocks for that for the expense of that recipe obviously people are looking for stuff to do with copper but I would expect the Copper Door to have different functionality to any of the other doors for it to operate

Differently with a redstone pulse or something like that to justify how expensive that is otherwise you’ve got a massive trade-off between material cost and Aesthetics here you’ve got some people who simply will not want to pay the cost of having that many copper blocks invested in a copper door

Certainly not going to be first night material that’s for sure and it doesn’t seem like we can combine the copper stuff in any other orientation like you can’t use copper grates or chiseled copper as material for the doors so it’s not going to be a multiblock crafting

Recipe it’s always going to be the same stuff well I will definitely need more coal to smelt all of this copper for one thing but luckily there’s plenty of copper coming out of the walls nearby and hopefully we should be able to experiment with these blocks here in

Survival now much so I want to smelt all of these here on site I am going to head further down into this Cavern if only because that will also take us closer to the tough blocks and we can see what all of this stuff looks like together but I

Think I should probably craft a shield before before I go down there and check that I’ve smelted all of my food so let me quickly get that taken care of and I’ll be right back okay with the food in my hot bar I’m slowly but surely going

To make my way down into the tough layers of the world I can already see a deposit of tough down there in the light so we will aim for that but first of all I want to see if I can snag some iron from further up in the cavern here since

There is some of it lurking in this dripstone cave creepers are also helping me mine a bit of extra copper on the way so I’m not going to ignore that and down here if we take a quick leap into into the water fight our way through the

Skeletons and the zombies there is a little deposit of iron waiting for us below the surface here and I think I saw one on the floor of the cave just over here to our right and fortunately for me I have an easy waterfall ride down there

We go this is probably the lowest I’ve been look there’s diamonds up there as well let’s go and grab those real quick I could do with a diamond pickaxe or something it is honestly really novel to see snow falling on deep slate like that but hopefully we have one or two

Diamonds here that we can turn into something useful looks like we got just the two diamonds there let’s see if there’s oh there is a third I looked up and I saw it straight away can I bridge over to that with the blocks I’ve got probably although these zombies are

Going to give me a hard time see if we can grab this diamond no it fell to the cave floor okay well I guess we’ll be going down there for that there we go steal the diamonds uh sneak past the zombies whoa and run away and of course

If I step out into the light all of these zombies can burn in the Sun and they’re not going to trouble me while I craft myself a diamond pickaxe all right that’s the entire tool progression done in about 20 minutes not too bad I can really do with these skeletons not

Shooting me though and the main thing I want to grab from down here is of course the tough blocks and you can see so many more recipes popping up there than we ever had for tough previously interestingly one thing we have not seen so far is the recipe for the copper bulb

Popping up anywhere so that’s something else we might have to look into and I wonder if Redstone is going to be a component of that let’s check that Redstone recipe toast to see if it pops up with anything that looks like the copper bulb I can’t see it yet but maybe

We’ll be able to find out more if we look in a crafting table there’s the copper bulb crafting recipe oh my gosh it needs a blaze rod wow we haven’t haded new recipes for blaze rods since the end rods were introduced that’s actually really cool it’s a good thing

We have a diamond pickaxe now cuz I’m going to need to go to the nether we better make ourselves a nether portal somewhere up here on the surface oh and I just noticed something else that was added in this update look at the bat up

There now I saw it very briefly I think it might have despawned because bats have just gotten a bit of an anime and texture overhaul and it might be a little bit difficult to find them intentionally in survival so maybe we should check that out in Creative in a

Later portion of the video but honestly I think the new bat textures from what I’ve seen in the screenshots look really quite cool they actually fly a bit like bats as well like they have a bit more of a bat-like movement to them and even though they don’t have any kind of uses

I don’t think any uses have been added for bats along with this artistic overhaul we love to see attention being paid to older features and bringing a little bit closer to the modern standards of Minecraft features you know anyway I’m going to look for a lava lake

Out here on the surface since that’s going to be a shire trip to the Nether and once we find that we can also do a little bit more smelting we’ll get some iron gear together and it looks like we got a snow Plains Village over here as

Well so maybe that can be our base camp while we acquire a little bit more food I’ll pop down my furnaces in the center of the village here we’ll get a bunch of the iron and copper smelting so that we can experiment a bit more with these

Blocks I wonder if this house with the chimney here even has a oh it’s got a furnace but not a blast furnace okay some of the PLS villagers have blast furnaces which can make my job a little easier here nope this one has a blast furnace okay perfect sorry buddy I’m

Going to steal this for a second that’s probably one very confused armor but I’ll take half of the stuff out of each of these two furnaces and the blast furnace will smelt it just as fast there we go now while all of that stuff is

Smelting up we need to take a look at these new tough blocks because oh my goodness tough has gone from Zero to Hero we’ve had no tough variants to speak of it’s always just been a building block and now look at this it even has stairs slabs and walls of the

Existing tough texture which I think is a brilliant Edition I’ve long wanted these things for a bit of terraforming work and I think the texture really fits stairs and slabs quite well if you want an example of a texture that really doesn’t fit stairs have a look at prismarine brick stairs sometime and

Notice how none of the lines in the prismarine brick texture really add up when when you’re looking at it in a stair texture it’ll really annoy you you’ll never look at it the same way again but not only do we now have natural tough stairs and slabs we also

Have polished tough which can be made in a stone cutter it’s not like Smooth stone that you have to smelt beforehand it’s more like polished and theight right so we can make a bit of that we can make slabs stairs and walls of that as well they’re also giving us slabs

Stairs and walls of this new tough brick texture that’s amazing and it has not one but two chiseled textures one that’s associated with the bricks and the other that’s just chiseled tough that is wild like I don’t know if any other Block in the game currently has two chiseled

Variants and just look at these These are incredible I would have loved to have these for my Empires builds just because of the kind of classical Greek look to them I feel like that’d be really cool for a civilization long lost and it doesn’t seem like they have any

Kind of rotation like I’m trying to place this in different directions so that we could use this top texture as a side texture or have this texture be vertical instead of horizontal but it doesn’t look like they do that this is a cool one as well that sort of looks like

The underside texture of a shulka box to me the spiral that it has on top of it really interesting so we can put this entire tough block family out here and of course this is adding a lot into my inventory right now so people are naturally going to grous about there

Being a lack of new solutions for inventory space but I expect they’ve got bits and pieces up their sleeves for the future the whole inventory issue really is kind of a tough nut to crack so fair play to Mojang for taking us on this journey in the meantime and giving us

New blocks even before some of the inventory stuff is addressed we’ve also got polished tough available to craft in our 2x two so I can presume that that works more or less like any other polished Stone type wood one thing I want to take a look at though and

Something that I need some natural stone for or at least some Cobblestone that I can smelt let’s grab a little bit from the underside of this Village here and I’ll compare the tough bricks with some stone bricks because that’s going to be a weird weird relationship in the meantime all of

These resources are more or less done smelting we need to add a little bit more fuel to the blast furnace so it can chew through the rest of this copper but now if we get enough blocks of copper together we can start crafting copper doors there we go and copper trap doors

Man we only had enough copper to make three and two of those those are really really expensive and I do wonder if we’ll end up seeing any of those recipes change to reflect the iron ones but copper doors and copper trap doors can apparently be opened and closed like

Wooden doors where you don’t need to use Redstone current to interact with them the same way you do with their iron counterparts and I find that kind of strange as well like naturally I’m happy that you can open and close these at will for decorative purposes it’s going

To be a lot easier to decorate a house with copper trapdoor details if you have something you can rightclick instead of something that needs Redstone interaction and I’m pretty sure that yeah the pickaxe is the correct tool for this it makes perfect sense but the copper bulb it’s going to have this

Interesting Redstone Behavior where if you give it a pulse it stays on instead of switching back off again unlike a redstone lamp which needs a constant current the copper bulb will just need a redstone pulse and I feel like that could work really well for the copper

Doors and trap doors as well to give a consistent Redstone Behavior across this new copper block pallet that we’re getting hold of I think it’ be a really good idea if a redstone pulse opened a door and then kept it open and the same with the trapdoor because that way you

Can still detail with them you can still leave them in a certain orientation you could still have the copper trap doors flip upwards against a wall like this and it could also lead to you using trap doors and doors in really interesting redstone contraptions which I expect

Will be the function of the copper bulb for a lot of redstone creators anyway back to what I was saying about the tough bricks sorry that I’m flip-flopping between lots of different topics here but here we go here is the natural stone brick block that we’re all

Used to right and I’m going to grab the tough bricks and put these side by side and you will notice a difference more or less immediately they don’t line up with the joins in each other’s textures because the tough bricks have a line of grout or mortar or whatever this is

Along the top of the block and in the middle but on the bottom half whereas in the stone brick Block it’s along the bottom and along the bottom half of the top portion of the block so like that’s the slab portion like let me get the

Slabs of each one and I can show you this like the slab portion looks like a brick with the darker side underneath on the stone bricks whereas on the tough bricks it’s got the darker portion on the top half and that’s consistent across each of the different tough

Blocks but it does mean that these two don’t go super well together I would argue however that they are not meant to because the rest of the texture really doesn’t blend all that well either if you look at the tough bricks they are so much more embossed they have this 3D

Texture to them where the stone bricks are intended to look a lot more flat and so I’m not certain yet if these form a decent transition between tough and deep slate bricks or let’s say Blackstone from the nether for example and it started snowing in this little snowy

Village which is unsurprising I suppose but yeah you can’t really see these two being used Side by Side unless you’re looking at it from a distance because up close all of the texture changes and all of the differences between these two bricks are going to drive you mad it’s

Really the stone brick texture but inverted in its entirety and given a bit more of a 3D embossed look to it and I don’t know how to feel about that yet but I kind of like the fact that tough bricks are unique in a certain way I’m not sure what the broader building

Community is going to think but let me know what you think in the comments it’ be really interesting to hear how people feel about that as a feature of tough bricks in the meantime though I cannot say enough good things about these two textures and obviously if you stack

Chiseled tough bricks you’ll end up with the feature that they had in the trial Chambers which we saw at Minecraft live where the segmented zigzag sections that are along the bottom row of each of these actually go together really nicely and I like that a lot you can kind of

See it connect to the regular chiseled tough as well cuz these are the chiseled tough bricks and that is just the chiseled tough texture but yeah I think those are going to be really fascinating for like designing mazes and labyrinths and stuff like that it’s really going to

Give that Vibe and we already know that the trial Chambers are going to be made out of a series of these copper and tough blocks so once you find one somewhere out there in the world and they’re not in this snapshot so I can’t really do that in survival today but

Once you find them they’re going to have a lot of these blocks in them and honestly I think the level of detail and the shading of these blocks actually goes together quite nicely I think that’s a really nice set of blocks to put together inside of a trial chamber I

Am curious about a couple of other things with the copper grates they’ve got a fantastic sound effect they’re very different to placing any other type of block like these ones have that copper block uh sound to them the one that already exists in the pre-existing copper block set the copper greates on

The other hand have a slightly lighter more Hollow sound to them which which is perfect for the block itself you can easily see people using these as Factory catwalks or something like that helped of course by the fact that these will age in the same way that

Other copper blocks will so I’m actually going to dot some around here on the snow planes and we’ll take a look at some of the Aged forms of those and in an Ideal World I think there would be individual sound effects for the different aging stages so they would

Sound like fresh and new in the full Copper version but then as they oxidized they could have like a slightly duller sound to them I don’t know if that’s a little too much to ask though but while those are out here aging I’m going to continue to look around and see if we

Can locate a lava lake because I really want to go to the nether get hold of some blaze rods and try out these copper bulbs can’t resist checking in this Igloo just in case it does have a research station underneath it let’s see if we’ve got a golden apple or something

In here that I can snag probably not going to have time to cure The Villages unfortunately but it is worth having that yep there we go splash potion of weakness isn’t going to do a whole lot for me right now but the two Villages are just going to be chilling in there

And in the cold pale light of morning I’m not seeing any lava lakes around here so it seems like we’re either going to have to dig down or continue exploring the surface for those and I think I’ll favor digging down for now just since the copper blocks are up here

On the surface aging while I do that and it looks like there’s a fairly convenient Gully for us here let’s drop off all of this extra stuff into a chest here like all of the tough blocks and whatnot we Shan be needing those I am going to craft myself a chest plate some

Leggings and probably a helmet we’re going boots and so far it seems like only one of the doors has aged one stage in the copper family but let’s compare the sound effects here and let’s see if this one is any different no it sounds about the same to

Me so let’s leave those to age a little bit more and let’s head down into this Ravine to see what lies below ooh still got dripstone cave here and it looks like we could potentially be falling down into this with our water bucket and we’ll see if we can grab a bit more

Water from down here as we speedrun our way down to deep slate level now I see a couple of light sources but that’s just glow Len we have a few more diamonds here which I’ll gladly take at this point and I think maybe a diamond axe will be a worthwhile upgrade to our

Stone one we can even afford a diamond shovel in this case as well let’s check out all of these stone tools I’ve been keeping hold of in that case and continue our search for lava oh and I got an opportunity to dig towards the screeching noises of these bats and we

Can take a look at those in the full light of a torch those look honestly pretty cool I love the way they fly and I think the new texture for them with like a little bit of purple really adds to the ambience that they are supposed to deliver to the cave environments here

In Minecraft I think that’s a really solid change certainly feels like an upgrade from the old dull boring bat that we are used to at this stage so I will absolutely deliver my stamp of approval for that change but we are down here at a fairly safe yga 49 and I don’t

Hear any lava around me so I think I’m going to dig down maybe branch mine for some diamonds and of course the bats are still getting in the way of mining like they always did but if I go mining for diamonds down here sooner or later I

Should encounter a lava lake and the worst thing that happens is I find more diamonds oh yeah now this was absolutely worth it that’s enough to get me some diamond boots at last I have shoes and I am hearing the popping of love ahead of me or perhaps above me it’s kind of

Difficult to tell at this point but I think it’s sort of in this direction so if I dig this way we should hopefully encounter a lava lake that I can turn into obsidian yeah that sounds like it’s all around me at this point and I’m seeing light coming from this cave so

Haha we’ve done it perfect there should be plenty of lava for us to start our first nether portal but I’m going to grab it and bring it back to the Village so we can see if any of that copper has aged yet and oh man every time I come

Back here with an unenchanted diamond pickaxe I always forget get how long it takes to mine obsidian in survival so I’m going to cut all of this out and I’ll see you folks back on the surface and I’ve made it back to the surface in record time it looks like because only a

Couple of the copper blocks have aged we have an aged copper great those honestly look beautiful I’m not the biggest fan of the exposed copper texture overall I haven’t used it for all that much yet I’m still trying to figure that out but I think with this texture on it with the

Amount of transparencies that are in here it really changes the block and I think that’s very exciting for some of these other blocks that are going to have transparent areas in them as well and I’m actually kind of curious if the villagers will interact with these copper doors as though they are the

Wooden ones that they have in the front of their houses if it’s just the same programming so I wonder if maybe we can convert this door which seems to be open right now we’ll put a copper door in here and we’ll see if the villagers will

Interact with that in the same way they do other doors let’s see we’ll put the armorers workstation inside of there and let’s see if they interact with that door in order to pathf find to it yep it looks like they can okay I was

He was faked me out for a second there I thought he was just going to run up to the door and not be able to open it but he did that’s fascinating I also came back with enough deep slate that we can compare polish deep slate and deep slate

Bricks to the tough brick textures just to see how those line up let’s grab those from over here so there is Polish tough next to polish deep slate and there is tough bricks next to deep slate bricks and once again these are the stone brick texture just kind of

Recolored and shaded differently so they are going to look very different to the tough bricks which again I know is going to annoy a lot of people but I am curious to see if they can add any other bricks that might line up with these a little better anyway I’m going to drop

The rest of the blocks in here maybe bring a stack or so with me to the nether because we are now able to go to the nether oh hold up one second before we do though because this copper grate has now aged and I like that even more

There’s so many little flecks of texture that make this a really cool looking block overall I think copper grates are the block that I’m most excited about even though doors and trap doors are a big deal for copper I just think these little guys are really cool and the

Chisel blocks are cool too but I just like the copper grates I love the fact that they’ve got a full block but with some transparency imagine making copper trees out of these or something that would be really quite cool but the time has now arrived for us to go to the

Nether and if you expected me to return from that cave with only 10 obsidian then you’d be wrong we are saving four of it for an enchantment table and we’re going to continue to make the jankiest nether portals around but in the meantime I’ve got a flint and steel on

Me let’s see if there’s a nether fortress nearby oh we’ll be lucky if there is and it looks like there is not we are right next to a crimson biome let’s see if we can spot a oh there’s a fortress right there we did get lucky in

The end although I have done the usual thing I do and completely forget to bring any gold armor to the nether but one of those piglins has just got chased Away by a zombie piglins so I think we can make a run for it and just peel her

Up and we are in okay we are one blazing counter away from being able to mess around with copper bulbs let’s see if we can make our way to the exterior of the Fortress Yep this way this way definitely and I think somewhere down these corridors we might have some

Internal Blaze Spawners we’ll have some that are buried in the Netherrack blocks I’m going to assume that at least one yep is down there at the end of that Corridor of course all of the corridors have lava spilling out to them but that’s fine we can block that off with a

Deep slate and unfortunately this one even exposes itself to the open air so I’m going to have to do a little bit of Shield blocking to make sure I can take down these blazes without getting taken out myself there we go that’s two we do have blaze rods so that’s a good start

And I want to mess with at least four blaze rods if I can because that way we’ll be able to get copper bulbs in all four oxidation stages although I’m running low on food now so that might be a bit of a tall order we will see there

We go there’s our fourth rod let’s make it out of here and let’s grab some quartz on the way back to see if we can take a look at comparator interactions as well can never resist a loot chest of course this one only has three saddles

In it well at least it has an easy escape and we are back across the nether back to our portal and back to the Overworld to mess with copper bulbs what an adventure we’ve made it back and now we should be able to smelt some copper that I had with me the whole

Time so that we can try and craft a copper bulb or two so with three blocks of copper arranged like so a blaze rod and a piece of redstone dust oh you get four from the recipe that’s something I hadn’t realized from our previous look at these just in the crafting interface

So these honestly have a pretty cool texture even when they are just switched off they’ve got that brown texture in the middle which actually goes really nicely with the copper texture let’s space these out across the village so we’ve got a bit more room to look at

Them of course we’ll be spacing these four blocks apart and the way these apparently work is that you switch them on with a redstone pulse and they stay on but that little Redstone crystal in the center of the texture is the thing that shows you whether or not they are

Currently receiving a redstone current So in theory you could power one of these on and off with a lever but it wouldn’t work in quite the same way cuz like if you switch this thing on with a lever of course it’s going to stay like

That and it’s going to keep the Red Dot in the center but when you switch the lever off it’s not going to turn the light off until you switch the lever back on again to give it a new Redstone pulse it’s kind of like the crafter it can’t be powered constantly with a

Redstone signal it has to be switched on and off like that which is going to create some interesting things I did say I was going to make a comparator to test these out so we might as well do that and that should tell us that when a

Copper bulb is lit it outputs a signal strength of 15 when detected by a comparator and when it’s switched off the comparator will no longer have any kind of signal but fortunately for us this one over here has already started to age so we can test that with a

Comparator as well as well and in this case you will see that the comparator still reads a signal strength of 15 so it’s not detecting the Aging stage of the copper bulb itself what it’s detecting is the copper bulb’s powered State whether it is on or off regardless

Of whether a redstone current is currently emitted so effectively this turns this block into a power component as long as it’s connected to a comparator and that could lead to some really interesting interactions for example oh it’s aged another stage and I love that one even more for example

Let’s say it gets an observer pulse like so that’s going to turn the copper bulb on or off and that’s going to change whether or not the comparator here is powered or not and oh I love that texture even more when it’s aged a little bit that’s so cool but the other

Thing is I’m fairly certain that these are pushable blocks right so you can move them with a piston yeah and that way you can actually determine whether the onoff state of these copper bulbs is behind the comparator or not and that allows you to have multiple ways of

Toggling a power source you’ve got a piston you’ve got a redstone pulse to it I think that’s a really interesting block to play around with that’s going to have a lot of interesting Niche uses in Redstone setups but even though the Redstone signal strength doesn’t change

Depending on whether or not the block is oxidized to any degree the light level that they put out does so let me take away this Lantern over here which I think is affecting the light level by the copper bulb there we go yes uh there’s a bit of block light from this

Lantern and this Lantern as well so we’ll remove those and there we go this copper bulb is giving off a light level of eight which is I believe the first light source that is capable of producing a light level of eight and if we scrape off the oxidation it goes back

To being an exposed copper bulb and now it’s giving off a light level of 12 the fresh copper is giving off a light level of 15 and if it oxidizes all the way to its final stage then it will be an even dimmer light with a light level of four

And unfortunately I don’t have any beehives in the surrounding forests I spawned in a very cold biome so I can’t get hold of any honey comb but you can of course wax any of these copper bulbs or any of the copper blocks some of which have aged a few more stages so we

Get to see them in some of their different aged forms and these are honestly really beautiful looking once they have some of that copper age applied to them like just look at what the depth and shading of these blocks does with the color that’s already applied to them by the copper aging kind

Of pattern that we already know and I think those are really quite special I love those so much this is me and copper of course you guys know this at this point one of the copper trap doors has now also started aging both of the copper doors are over there and we have

An exposed and a weathered copper great to examine side by side those are really quite cool looking as well and I can’t wait to get the fully oxidized versions of those either way this is one heck of a block pallet one heck of a snapshot

And I can’t wait to see what all of these look like in the trial Chambers which I presume we’re going to be getting next week if they keep up their Wednesday Cadence of snapshots I really hope that we end up seeing one of the trial Chambers and we can go through

That in survival and see how we fare next time but that’s going to be it for this episode looking at this snapshot thank you so much for watching my name has been pixel riffs don’t forget to leave a like on this video If you enjoyed it subscribe if you want to see
