Copper Recycling Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start recycling copper?
Place a furnace and put copper blocks inside with fuel. The furnace will smelt them into copper ingots, just like smelting iron or gold ore.
Can I recycle oxidized copper blocks?
Yes, oxidized copper blocks can be smelted into ingots at any oxidation stage—from fresh to fully weathered.
Do waxed copper blocks work with recycling?
Yes, waxed copper blocks recycle the same way as unwaxed ones. Waxing status doesn't affect the smelting process.
What copper blocks can I recycle?
You can recycle copper blocks in all their forms: raw copper blocks, copper blocks, and their oxidized/waxed variants. Check the mod description or in-game to confirm which specific blocks are included.
Is there a faster way to recycle lots of copper?
Set up multiple furnaces or use a blast furnace for faster smelting. You can also use hoppers and item sorters to automate the process.
Do I get the same amount of ingots back as I put in?
The mod returns ingots based on the standard smelting recipe for copper blocks. You'll get fewer ingots than the original block contained, similar to how iron and gold recycling work.
Can I use a blast furnace instead of a regular furnace?
Yes, blast furnaces work for smelting copper blocks and will process them faster than a regular furnace.
Does this mod work with other mods that add copper?
This mod specifically handles vanilla copper blocks. Compatibility with other mods' copper depends on whether those mods integrate with vanilla copper mechanics.
What do I do with the copper ingots after recycling?
Recycled copper ingots work like normal copper ingots—use them for crafting, building, or further processing into other items.
Is there a way to recycle copper items like tools or armor?
This mod recycles copper blocks specifically. For copper items like tools, you would need to craft them back into blocks first or use a different mod feature if available.
