How to Reclaim Ingots from Waxed Copper Blocks

Smelting Waxed Copper

Waxing copper blocks prevents them from oxidizing further, but clearing wax in vanilla requires scraping each individual block with an axe. With the Copper Recycling mod, all waxing conditions are supported in the furnace, allowing you to smelt waxed copper blocks without stripping the wax beforehand.

Step-by-Step Recycling

1. Collect your unwanted waxed copper blocks from storage or demolished builds.

2. Access your furnace interface and verify that the fuel slot is supplied with fuel.

3. Insert the waxed copper blocks into the top smelting input.

4. Take the reclaimed copper ingots out of the furnace output once smelting finishes.

Skipping the de-waxing step lets you quickly convert protected architectural blocks back into raw ingots without wasting time or tool durability.
