A copper golem statue is a block created when a copper golem fully oxidizes. Scraping an unoxidized copper golem statue using an axe turns it back into a copper golem.

Obtaining

Breaking

Copper golem statues can be broken by hand, but using a pickaxe is the fastest.

Post-generation

Once fully oxidized, a copper golem has a 0.58% chance per tick to become a copper golem statue and take a random pose, provided it is not waxed and is standing on a full block.​ This process takes on average 8.62 seconds. During the transformation, any items held by the copper golem are dropped.

Usage

Posing

Interacting with a copper golem statue changes its pose, cycling through four poses: standing, sitting, running, and star.

Oxidation

Unwaxed copper golem statues have four stages of oxidation (including the initial normal state). Lightning bolts and axes can remove the oxidation on copper golems statues. Using a honeycomb on a copper golems statues prevents 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.

Using an axe on an unoxidized unwaxed copper golem statue will reanimate it into an unoxidized unwaxed copper golem.

Redstone component

A redstone comparator can read the state of a copper golem statue and emit a signal strength based on its pose.
