Organize Waxed and Unwaxed Copper in Storage

Separating Your Copper Supplies

When you have both waxed and unwaxed copper blocks, keeping them organized prevents mistakes during construction.

Storage strategy:

1. Use separate chests or storage areas for waxed and unwaxed copper blocks

2. Use the yellow honey dot indicator to sort blocks into the correct container

3. Label your storage areas clearly (e.g., "Waxed Copper" and "Unwaxed Copper")

4. Keep oxidation stages grouped together within each category if building with specific colors

Quick Sorting Tips

When collecting copper blocks from mining or crafting, take a moment to separate them by waxing status before storing. This saves time later when you're actively building. If you're working on a project with multiple oxidation stages, organize by both waxing status *and* color—for example, one chest for waxed weathered copper, another for unwaxed weathered copper. The yellow dot makes this visual sorting process fast and reliable.
