Copper Trapdoor

A copper trapdoor is a type of trapdoor made from copper that can be opened and closed by the player without redstone.

Obtaining

Breaking

Copper trapdoors can be mined only with a stone pickaxe or better. If a copper trapdoor is mined without the use of a valid pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Oxidized and waxed oxidized copper trapdoors generate naturally in trial chambers.

Usage

Copper trapdoors can be opened and closed by players or a redstone signal. Copper trapdoors are also affected by the wind burst of thrown wind charges, causing them to open if closed, or vice versa.

Barrier

A copper trapdoor can be opened or closed by pressing the Use Item/Place Block control.

Redstone component

Copper trapdoors can be controlled with redstone power. When activated, the copper trapdoor immediately opens. When deactivated, it immediately closes.

An activated copper trapdoor can still be closed by a player, and does not re-open until it receives a new activation signal (if a trapdoor has been closed "by hand", it still needs to be deactivated and then reactivated to open by redstone).

Oxidation

Non-waxed copper trapdoors have four stages of oxidation (including the initial normal state). Lightning bolts can remove the oxidation on copper trapdoors. However, axes cannot be used in the same way they can with other copper blocks (because right clicking on non-waxed copper trapdoors while holding an axe only toggles the trapdoor). Instead, copper trapdoors must be right-clicked with an axe while crouching to deoxidize them. They can be waxed with honeycomb to prevent oxidation from progressing.

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.
