Copper Overview

Copper is a new item in Minecraft 1.17. In Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Update Part I, Copper comes in different types and forms. It also serves as an ingredient to make other items.

1. Copper Ore.
2. Raw Copper.
3. Copper Ingot.
4. Block of Raw Copper.
5. Block of Copper (Waxed, Exposed, Weathered, and Oxidized).
6. Spyglass.
7. Lighting Rod.

Let’s get into all these items one by one. The first is Copper Ore.

A Copper Ore.

Copper Ore is one of the types of Ores that players can find. They are easy to find, as easy as finding Coals.

Copper Ore drops Raw Copper if the player destroys it using a Stone Picaxe or Higher. The player can also increase the drop count by using Fortune Enchanted Pickaxe.

Raw Copper can be either crafted into Blocks of Raw Copper or smelted into Copper Ingot. Players can either use Blast Furnace or the regular Furnace.

Copper Ingot serves as an ingredient for these items:

1. Lightning Rod

Lightning Rod gets struck by lightning.

It’s a block that diverts lightning into the ground. You can place it on top of your house or your crop field. 

If you place it on land in certain areas, it minimizes the chances of you and other mobs getting struck by lightning (even though it’s very rare to happen) and the chances of spawning the Skeleton Trap.

2. Spyglass

Steve Using Spyglass.

With Spyglass, you can zoom in on places from far away. However, the view of the area when you zoom in is quite small. It’s way better with Optifine on Minecraft Java, in my opinion.

3. Copper Block

The Copper Block is a block made of 9 Copper Ingots. It currently serves as decorative blocks. What makes this block unique is that it oxidizes over time. The Copper Block’s color will become a blueish or teal-like color.

There are four stages of oxidation in Minecraft.

4 Stages of Oxidation in Minecraft.

Copper Block > Exposed Copper > Weathered Copper > Oxidized Copper.

There are two differences between Copper Block and Oxidized Copper Block. First, the Copper Block can be crafted back into 9 Copper Ingots while Oxidized Copper Block can’t. Second, the color is changing (obviously).

Here are things you can do to make Oxidized Copper return to normal.

Scrapping Oxidized Copper using an Axe.

1. Use Axe. Click the Exposed, Weathered, or Oxidized Copper to return it to normal. You will see particles from the Copper Block while you’re doing this.

Waxing Copper using Honeycomb.

2 . Use Honeycomb. Honeycomb prevents Copper Block to become Oxidized over time (so it stays as it is). This method is called waxing. To remove the wax, use Axe. Note: keep in mind that, Exposed, Weathered, and Oxidized Copper can also be waxed using a Honeycomb. But why would you want to wax Oxidized Copper Block? 

Oxidized Copper Struck by Lightning through Lightning Rod.

3. Place the Lightning Rod on top of the Oxidized Copper Block and wait for a lightning strike. A lightning strike that hits an Oxidized Copper Block will turn it into Copper Block (as well as other blocks near it). But this method seems inefficient.

Candle Overview

Candles from 1 to 4.

Candle is one of the newest addition to Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Update Part I. It serves as a light source just like Torch, Lantern, Campfire, etc. Just like Sea Pickle and Turtle Eggs, you can place up to four Candles in one place. The more Candle, the brighter it is. 

Dyeing Candles.

You can also color a Candle using any Dye (16 different colors). Keep in Mind that Candle has its default color, and you can’t color a colored Candle.

Pink Candle on a Cake.

Candle can be placed on top of a Cake too. When you take the first bite, the Candle drops. When a Candle is placed on a block or Cake, it doesn’t light. You need to use Flint and Steel to light it up (you can also use flaming arrows). You can extinguish Candle using Water, Water Bottle or by clicking them.

How to Craft a Candle

Crafting a Candle.

To craft a Candle, you need 1 String and 1 Honeycomb. 

You can get String by killing Spiders or destroying Cobweb. To get Honeycomb, you can farm it from the Beehives or Bee Nest (learn how).

Why Candle is a good addition to Minecraft

Using Candle as another light source inside the house.

More and More Minecraft Updates bring decorative items to the game. In previous updates brings Lantern, Campfire, and Chain. Now in 1.17, there are Candles to be placed around the house.

This addition is great, especially for the world builders. The more decorative items added, the more aesthetic it is.

I remember using Torches to light my house back in the day. I feel like a Caveman.

Amethyst is one of the newest addition that comes in the new Minecraft Caves and Cliffs Update Part I.

Getting to Know Amethyst in Minecraft

An Amethyst Cluster.

In real life, Amethyst is a real thing, it’s a shiny purple gem. In Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Update Part I, Amethyst comes in different forms.

1. Block of Amethyst.
2. Amethyst Shard.
3. Budding Amethyst.
4. Amethyst Buds.
5. Amethyst Cluster.

In the latest version of Minecraft, you can find Amethyst Geode(s) in the overworld. This Amethyst Geode(s) houses Amethyst that later can be collected by the players.

Amethyst Geode looks like this:

Amethyst Geode with its four blocks that made it.

The outer layer is Smooth Basalt, the second layer is Calcite, and on the inside, there are Blocks of Amethysts and Budding Amethysts. 

This rounded ball called Amethyst Geode is found in the underground or ocean floor. Sometimes it cracked open and connected to caves or Mineshaft.

If you look at the inside, you can see Amethyst Buds and Clusters (the crystals that are attached to the wall and floor inside the Geode). Amethyst Buds are growing into Amethyst Cluster through four stages. It begins with Small Amethyst Bud > Medium Amethyst Bud > Large Amethyst Bud > Amethyst Cluster.

Amethyst Bud Grows up into Amethyst Cluster.

Amethyst Buds can only grow on Budding Amethyst. A block that looks similar to Block of Amethyst but with x mark. This block cannot be obtained and placed somewhere else for the players to “farm” the Amethyst. Players need to come back to the Geode to farm the Amethyst Crystals. Budding Amethyst grows Amethyst Buds over time.

Amethyst Shards.

Amethyst Cluster drops 4 Amethyst Shards if destroyed using a Pickaxe. If you use anything other than a Pickaxe, it drops only two. You can increase the drop rate by using Fortune Enchanted Pickaxe.

Amethyst Items Usage and How to Get Them

• Block of Amethyst is used mainly for decoration purposes. You can make it by using 4 Amethyst Shards.
• Budding Amethyst uses for the “soil” so that Amethyst Buds can grow. 
• Amethyst Buds are stages before becoming Amethyst Cluster. To get Amethyst Buds, you can destroy them using Silk Touch Enchanted Pickaxe.
• Amethyst Cluster uses for decoration purposes or, you can mine it to get Amethyst Shards. You can get it by destroying it using Silk Touch Enchanted Pickaxe.
• Amethyst Shard is an ingredient to make Spyglass, Block of Amethyst, and Tinted Glass.

Today, you will learn how to craft and use Stonecutter in Minecraft. You can use the table of contents above to navigate quickly.

Be sure to share this article with your friends or family if you find this article useful. Sharing buttons are located below the article. Thank you very much.

Stonecutter Overview

Inside the Stonemason’s house.

Stonecutter is one of the 13 Job site blocks Villager use to work. A Villager who works with Stonecutter is called Stonemason or Mason. You can always find Stonecutter inside the Stonemason’s house.

If there is an unemployed/jobless Villager standing near the Stonecutter, it will become Stonemason.

Stonecutter can be used to cut stone-type blocks to make new variations of the particular block. For example, a Stonecutter can make Stone Brick Stairs from a Stone.

These block variations are intended mainly for decoration purposes.

Crafting Table, however, can also make these block variations. But it’s not precise as the Stonecutter. 

Comparison between Crafting Table and Stonecutter.

For example, to make 1 Cobblestone Wall using Stonecutter, you need 1 Cobblestone. On the other hand, to make Cobblestone Wall on Crafting Table, you need 6 Cobblestones at a minimum, but you’ll get 6 Cobblestone as well.

How to Craft Stonecutter

Crafting a Stonecutter.

To craft a Stonecutter, you need 1 Iron Ingot and 3 Stones. To get Stones, you can smelt Cobblestone using a Furnace. Or destroy the Stone itself using Slik Touch Enchanted Pickaxe.

How to Use Stonecutter

Stonecutter UI |Bedrock: top| Java: bottom

Stonecutter is pretty simple and easy to use. Just put your desired stone-type block on the left slot, and the option of variations of that block will appear on the screen. Then, Choose what block variations you want.

To see what kind of stone-type block you can use, see the video below.

Every Stone-Type Blocks Stonecutter Can Use.

Notes:

1. You also can use Mossy Stone Bricks and Mossy Cobblestone.
2. Some block variations don’t need their base blocks to make them. For example, you can make a Polished Diorite Slab by putting Polished Diorite instead of Diorite into the Stonecutter.
3. Most of the stone-type block variations are Stairs, Slab, and Wall.

Be sure to share this article with your friends or family if you find this article useful. Sharing buttons are located below the article. Thank you very much.

Cauldron Overview

The Cauldron.

The Cauldron is 1 of the 13 job site blocks Villagers use to work. A Villager who works with Cauldron is called Leatherworker.

All Naturally Generated Cauldrons. Village Tannery | Witch Hut | Igloo’s Chamber Room | Woodland Mansion Prison.

Cauldron generates naturally inside the Witch Hut, Igloo’s chamber room, Woodland Mansion, and Village Tannery.

The Cauldron is an item that players can use as a container (mostly for liquid). Depending on Minecraft Edition player using, Cauldron can be used to:

• In Minecraft Java Edition

In Minecraft Java Edition, Cauldron can be used to hold Water, Lava, and Snow Powder. 

When Cauldron holds Water, it can be used to remove Dye color from Dyed-Shulker Boxes, remove a Pattern from a Banner, and Dyed-Leather Armor. 

• In Minecraft Bedrock

In Bedrock, Cauldron shares the same purpose, just like in Minecraft Java Edition. But there are some differences:

1. Players can give color to the water inside the Cauldron using a Dye. Players can also add another Dye to combine the colors.
2. The colored water then can be used to coloring the Leather Armor.
3. Players can store one type of Potion in Cauldron.
4. Players can make Tipped Arrows using Potion inside the Cauldron.

The Water inside the Cauldron can be picked up using an Empty Bottle (3×) or using an Empty Bucket. Lava can also be picked by an Empty Bucket.

If the Cauldron is placed outside during rain or snowfall, Cauldron will collect Water or Snow Powder.

A Cauldron can be placed inside the Nether while holding Water too.

How to Craft a Cauldron

Crafting a Cauldron.

To craft a Cauldron, you need 7 Iron Ingots. Arrange the Iron Ingots like the U letter.

Cauldron Usage

Below are the tutorials on how to use Cauldron. Depending on the usage and Minecraft Edition. 

1. Removing Color from Dyed-Leather Armor, Dyed-Shulker Boxes, or a Pattern from Banner (Bedrock & Java)

Removing Color from Dyed-Leather Armor, Banner with Pattern, and Dyed-Shulker Box.

1. Fill the Cauldron with Water 

To do this, click the Cauldron either with a Water Bucket or 3 Water Bottles.

Note: If you use Watter Bottles, you don’t need the Water to be at full to remove the color or a Pattern. But less amount of Water means fewer items to clean.

2. Prepare What Item You Want to Clean

After there is Water inside the Cauldron, you can start using it by clicking the Cauldron while holding the item.

Notes: 

1. Every time you use Cauldron to remove color or a Pattern, it decreases the Water level by 1.

2. A full Cauldron filled with Water is capable of cleaning 6 Items for Bedrock and 3 Items for Java. 

3. In Bedrock, colored Water can be used to remove a Pattern from a Banner.

2. How to Use Cauldron to Dye Leather Armor (Bedrock Only)

Dye Leather Armor using Cauldron.

1. Fill The Cauldron with Water

Click the Cauldron either with a Water Bucket or 3 Water Bottles.

Note: Once again, if you use Watter Bottles, you don’t need the Water to be at full to color Leather Armor But less amount of Water means fewer items to color.

2. Click the Cauldron while holding the Dye

Click the Cauldron using Dye, any Dye you want. Then, the color of the Water will change based on your Dye’s color.

3. Click the Colored Water while holding Leather Armor

Use either Leather Cap, Tunic, Pants, or Boots. Then, click the colored Water. 

Notes:

1. Coloring Armor only works with Leather Armor (including Leather Horse Armor).
2. You can Dye Leather Armor 6 times (at the full level of Water).
3. Albeit it may seem possible, you can’t Dye Shulker Boxes. You can do it only through crafting.

3. How to Make Tipped Arrow using Cauldron (Bedrock Only)

Make Tipped Arrows using Cauldron.

1. Fill the Cauldron with a Potion

Your Potion effect will later reflect what Tipped Arrow you get. To do this, click the Cauldron while holding the Potion. 3 Potions can make a full Cauldron.

2. Click the Cauldron while holding the Arrow.

You can either put it one by one Arrow or a full-stack of 64 Arrows at once. A full-stack at once is undoubtedly the best option.

Notes: 

1. If you make Tipped Arrow one by one, you can only do it 4 times (at the full level of Potion). Then, you have to re-fill the Cauldron again.
2. To make Tipped Arrow for a full-stack 64 Arrows, the Cauldron must be at the full level of Potion.

Be sure to share this article with your friends or family if you find this article useful. Sharing buttons are located below the article. Thank you very much.

Loom Overview

Loom inside Shepherd’s house.

The Loom is 1 of the 13 job site blocks villagers use to work. A Villager who works with Loom is called a Shepherd. If there is an unemployed/jobless Villager standing near a Loom, it’ll become a Shepherd. You can always find Loom inside Shepherd’s house.

You can use Loom to apply colorful patterns to a Banner. All the details about that will be explained below.

How to Craft a Loom

Crafting a Loom.

To craft a Loom, you need 2 Strings and 2 Wood Planks (you can use any types of Wood Planks to make a Loom).

How Loom Works

Loom UI. Right: Java | Left: Bedrock

Loom works when players put a Banner into the Banner Slot, Dye into the Dye Slot, and select a Basic Pattern from the Pattern Box. 

The Patterns’ color reflects the color of the Dye player using. 

Give a Banner some Patterns.

Each Pattern can be stacked or layered up to 6 times. The new Pattern will overlap the old Pattern, and so on.

All Loom Basic Patterns

What type of Basic Patterns does Loom have? Currently, for Java Edition there are 34 Basic Patterns and for Bedrock, there are 32.  See all images below.

All Banner Patterns

There is another slot on the Loom. It’s for the Banner Pattern. Banner Pattern is an item to make a special and unique pattern that can be applied to a Banner through Loom. 

By default, Loom can’t have these unique patterns. Depending on what kind of Banner Pattern players want to get, Banner Patterns have different ways to get. Here are all the Banner Patterns and how to get them:

Note – All the Banner Patterns below are using White Banner and Black Dye. 

All Banner Patterns.

1. Thing

Crafting Thing Banner Pattern.

The Thing is a Banner Pattern that shows an old Mojang Logo. Players can get it by crafting a Paper and an Enchanted Golden Apple.

2. Skull Charge

Crafting Skull Charge Banner Pattern.

Skull Charge shows a Skeleton head with 2 Bones. Players can use White Dye as a resemblance of Skeleton or Black Dye for Wither Skeleton. To get it, craft a Paper and a Wither Skeleton Head.

3. Flower Charge

Crafting Flower Charge Banner Pattern.

Flower Charge shows a Flower pattern. If you use Yellow or Orange Dye, it may look like a sun. In Minecraft Bedrock, a master-level Cartographer may offer Flower Charge to you. 

To get a Flower Charge Banner Pattern, you need a Paper and Oxeye Daisy.

4. Globe (Java Edition Only)

Globe Banner Pattern is only for Minecraft Java Edition. And the only way to get it is by trading with a master-level Cartographer for 8 Emeralds. 

Globe Banner Pattern shows a square-shaped earth pattern.

5. Creeper Charge

Crafting Creeper Charge Banner Pattern.

Creeper Charge shows a Creeper face. You can get it by crafting a Paper with a Creeper Head.

6. Snout

7. Field Masoned (As a Banner Pattern for Bedrock only)

Crafting Field Masoned Banner Pattern.

Field Masoned shows a wall brick pattern. In Minecraft Java Edition, Field Masoned comes as a Basic Pattern that comes with Loom.

In Bedrock, it’s considered as a Banner Pattern. And to get it, players need to craft a Paper and a Brick Block.

8. Bordure Indented (As a Banner Pattern for Bedrock only)

Crafting Bordure Intended Banner Pattern.

Bordure Indented shows a wave border around the Banner. Just like Field Masoned, In Minecraft Java Edition, Bordure Indented comes as a Basic Pattern that comes with Loom.

In Bedrock, it’s considered as a Banner Pattern.

To get Bordure Indented in Bedrock, craft a Paper and an Ivy.

Remember: 

1. Basic Patterns, Patterns that come with the Loom.
2. Banner Patterns, Special Patterns that come only from Banner Pattern items.
3. Depending on your Minecraft Edition, Loom can have more or fewer Patterns. If you play on Java Edition of Minecraft, Field Masoned and Bordure Intended are included in the basic Pattern. While in Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, those two are part of the Banner Patterns.

How to Use Loom 

1. Put a Banner into the Banner Slot. You can use any colors of Banners you want.
2. Put a Dye into the Dye Slot. You also can use any colors of Dyes you want.
3. Select a Basic Pattern you want to use. 
4. Take the Banner.

See videos below:

Using Loom in Minecraft Java Edition.

Using Loom in Minecraft Bedrock.

You can combine other Patterns into the Banner by repeating the process.

You may ask “Is there a way to remove Pattern?”

Yes, you can remove Patterns from the top to bottom using Cauldron.

Tips:

1. You can also use Banner Pattern instead of the Basic Pattern by putting it into the Banner Pattern Slot.
2. Make sure you pick the right colors. Don’t make your Patterns hard to see.

So that’s all the tutorials hope you get a better understanding of Loom in Minecraft. For more guides like this, see Tutorials and Guides. Thank you for reading the article.

You can’t use Respawn Anchor in the overworld. As you know, you need Bed to change the Respawn Point in the overworld by either clicking on it or sleep on it. But if you proceed, the Respawn Anchor will explode.

How to Craft Respawn Anchor

Crafting a Respawn Anchor.

To craft a Respawn Anchor, you need 6 Crying Obsidians and 3 Glowstones. You can get Crying Obsidian from the Ruined Portal, Bastion Remnant Chest, or trade with the Piglins inside the Nether.

How to Use Respawn Anchor

The Respawn Anchor at 4 Glowstone levels.

Respawn Anchor only works when it charged up at least 1 Glowstone (with a maximum of 4). To do this, you need to put Respawn Anchor either in the Nether or the End. Then click the Respawn Anchor while holding the Glowstone. The Respawn Anchor will light up and showing the Nether Portal effect on the top. Click the Respawn Anchor. There will be a prompt “Respawn Point Set” then you good to go.

Respawn Anchor from level 1 – 4.

There are indicators located on each side of the Respawn Anchor. It tells you how many Glowstones you have used. Every time you died, it decreased by 1. If the Respawn Point Glowstone level reaches 0, you will respawn in the overworld. The more you charged the Respawn Anchor, the more Respawn Anchor gets brighten. 

 Respawn Anchor Tips

My building for my Respawn Anchor.

1. Make sure you place Respawn Anchor in a safe place since there are many hostile mobs, Lava, and Fire everywhere in the Nether and Enderman in the End. I recommend you build a building to cover the Respawn Anchor to keep you safe after respawning.

Respawn Areas.

2. Don’t block the respawn area in your Respawn Anchor. Respawn Anchor can’t be working if its respawns area is completely covered/blocked by any blocks. If this happens, the Respawn Anchor will no longer work and, you will respawn in a place before you use the Respawn Anchor. And you will get the message “Respawn Anchor is obstructed” So make sure you leave some space for Respawn Anchor to make it work.

Today you will learn how to craft and use Lodestone in Minecraft. You can use the table of contents above to navigate quickly.

Lodestone Overview

The Lodestone.

Lodestone is a new item in Minecraft 1.16 (Nether Update). You can use Lodestone to change the direction where Compass lead. 

Comparison between normal Compass and Lodestone Compass.

Generally, Compass will lead to the point where you start the world (world starting point). With Lodestone, you can make the Compass to point to Lodestone and place it wherever you want. It can be in your house, base, or places you like to visit. Lodestone even works on other dimensions like the Nether and the End.

Lodestone is a must-have item to use when you visit other dimensions like the Nether or the End since a Compass will spinning around and never point to anything in those dimensions.

How to Craft a Lodestone

Crafting a Lodestone.

You need 8 Chiseled Stone Bricks and 1 Netherite Ingot to craft a Lodestone. If you’re wondering how to get a Netherite Ingot, you can read Netherite Ingot Guide.

How to Use a Lodestone

Lodestone is pretty simple to use. Place it wherever you like, click the Lodestone while holding your Compass, and your Compass will be converted into Lodestone Compass.

From normal Compass to Lodestone Compass.

What makes Lodestone Compass different from the original Compass is that Lodestone Compass has the Enchantment Glint. It looks more like an Enchanted Compass. 

In Minecraft Bedrock Edition, Lodestone Compass has a blue Glint, which makes it a little bit cooler.

Notes:

1. You can use multiple Lodestones for different areas in your Minecraft world.
2. You can use more than 1 Compass for 1 Lodestone. So other players in the same Minecraft world can use their Compasses to lead to 1 location. 
3. If Lodestone is destroyed, the Lodestone Compass will be spinning around and never point to anything.
4. Lodestone Compass can be changed to another Lodestone by clicking the other Lodestone. 

Little Tip

Renaming Lodestone Compass.

Since it is possible to use multiple Lodestones and every single Compass will be named as “Lodestone Compass” It would be hard to differentiate them. So I recommend changing the Lodestone Compass name using Anvil based on what they’re pointing to.

It would be much better and easy for you and get a better experience while playing.

So that’s all the tutorials. I hope you get a better understanding of Lodestone in Minecraft. Thank you for reading the article.

1. Try mine in Y=15 (most of the Ancient Debris are on that level).
2. You can only use either a Diamond Pickaxe or Netherite Pickaxe to mine Ancient Debris.
3. Feel free to use TNT, since Ancient Debris has high blast resistance, it immunes to an explosion. Using TNT speeds up the process of finding Ancient Debris.

There is another way to get Ancient Debris, through the Bastion Remnant Chest. Sometimes you can find Ancient Debris in there. But you have to be careful opening the Chest inside the Bastion Remnant can provoke the Piglins.

Smelting Ancient Debris using Blast Furnace.

After you’ve got the Ancient Debris, you need to smelt them using Furnace (or Blast Furnace if you want to quicker). You will get Netherite Scrap after you smelt the Ancient Debris.

How to Get Gold Ingot

The Gold Ingot.

They are many different ways to get Gold Ingot. So here they are:

The genuine way to obtain Gold Ingot is by mining the Ores. There 2 Ores that can be mined. First is Gold Ore that can be found in the underground (Y=30) or Badland (Y=30 – 80). Try mine in Badland if it is possible.

The second is Nether Gold Ore, which only generates inside the Nether (Y=10 – 117). You have to be careful not to mine it near the Piglins because they will attack you if you do so.

Smelting Gold Ore and Nether Gold Ore using Blast Furnace.

Don’t forget to smelt Gold Ore/Nether Gold Ore using a Furnace or Blast Furnace.
