Cut copper stairs are a decorative stairs variant of cut copper that generate in trial chambers and are used for building. Unlike other types of stairs, cut copper stairs can oxidize over time.
Obtaining
Breaking
Cut copper stairs can be broken with stone pickaxes or higher. If mined without a pickaxe, they drop nothing.
- incorrect tool, drops nothing
- correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
- correct tool, drops the block itself
- italicized can be instant mined
- ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Mining efficiency.
Natural generation
Waxed oxidized cut copper stairs generate naturally in trial chambers.

Usage
Oxidation
Non-waxed cut copper stairs have four stages of oxidation (including the initial normal state). Lightning bolts and axes can remove the oxidation on cut copper stairs. They can be waxed with a honeycomb to prevent it from oxidizing.
As the block begins to oxidize (exposed), it gets discolored and green spots begin to appear. As the oxidation continues (weathered), the block is a green color with brown spots. In the last stage (oxidized), the block is teal with several green spots.
