Copper grates are a variant of copper blocks that have perforations that can be seen through.

Obtaining

Breaking

Copper grates can be mined with a stone pickaxe or better. If a copper grate is broken without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Waxed copper grates of various oxidization stages generate naturally within the corridors of trial chambers, mostly serving as wall-mounted walkways between different rooms. They are also featured on some walls and floors and can form dead ends within the halls, mostly with a chest in front.

Usage

Copper grates are decorative transparent blocks that can oxidize. Copper grates do not conduct redstone, and mobs cannot spawn on top of them. They can also be waterlogged, and smoke travels through them.

Copper grates adjacent to other copper grates are invisible when viewed through a copper grate that is identical in states of oxidation and wax.

Oxidation

Non-waxed copper grates have four stages of oxidation (including the initial normal state). Lightning bolts and axes can remove the oxidation on copper grates. Using a honeycomb on a copper grate 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.

							Entities no longer suffocate when their head is inside a copper grate.
							Now generates naturally within trial chambers.
			23w46a				Can now be waterlogged.
1.20.5 Experiment Update 1.21			24w03a				Stonecutting a copper block into a copper grate now outputs 1 copper grate instead of 4.
			24w04a				Stonecutting a copper block into a copper grate now outputs 4 copper grates once again.

Trivia

• Copper grates were mainly inspired by chain link fences.^[1]
• In Java Edition 23w13a_or_b, a block called "copper spleaves" was added, having a very similar appearance to the copper grates. Nevertheless, the two blocks are unrelated.^[1]
