How to Recycle Oxidized Copper Blocks Without Scraping

Direct Recycling of Weathered Copper

Copper blocks gradually oxidize over time when placed in the world, shifting through multiple weathering stages. Normally, restoring oxidized copper requires manually scraping each block with an axe. The Copper Recycling mod removes this hassle by letting you recycle copper blocks across all oxidation levels directly.

Processing Oxidized Blocks

1. Mine the oxidized copper blocks you want to break down.

2. Open a furnace and place your preferred fuel in the bottom slot.

3. Put the oxidized copper blocks straight into the top smelting slot without scraping them first.

4. Allow the furnace to complete the smelting cycle, then retrieve your copper ingots from the output slot.

Because the mod accepts every oxidation stage, you can smelt fully weathered or intermediate copper blocks identically to fresh copper blocks, saving valuable axe durability.
