Overview

• Mojang set Sept. 30, 2025 for the Copper Age release following a full reveal during Minecraft Live.
• Copper gear enters the progression with tools between stone and iron for durability and armor between leather and iron, plus new horse armor.
• Copper golems are crafted from copper blocks and a carved pumpkin, grant your first copper chest, and auto‑sort its contents into nearby regular chests.
• Oxidized golems become poseable statues that can be waxed to preserve a state or scraped to reanimate, with each pose outputting a distinct comparator signal.
• Copper objects like lanterns, torches, chains, bars, and lightning rods now oxidize unless waxed, and new shelf blocks display three items and can swap hotbar loadouts via redstone; Mojang also teased the holiday ‘Mounts of Mayhem’ drop.
