Identify Waxed Copper Blocks in Your Inventory

Spotting the Yellow Honey Dot

Waxed copper blocks look nearly identical to unwaxed ones when stacked in your inventory, but this mod adds a small visual indicator to help you tell them apart.

How to identify waxed blocks:

1. Look at copper block icons in your inventory slots

2. Waxed copper blocks display a tiny yellow dot in the corner or edge of their icon

3. Unwaxed copper blocks have no dot

This dot represents the honey coating applied during the waxing process. The color and oxidation state of the block itself will still be visible—the dot is simply an overlay that marks it as waxed.

Why This Matters

Since waxed and unwaxed copper blocks have identical appearances in the world at the same oxidation level, the inventory icon is your only reliable way to distinguish them at a glance. This prevents accidentally placing unwaxed blocks where you meant to place waxed ones, or vice versa. The tiny yellow indicator makes sorting and organizing your copper blocks much easier during building projects.
