Let's talk about the new Copper and Tuff Blocks!

Pinned

Hot on the heels of last week's Crafter snapshot/preview debut, we're bringing you another set of 1.21 features to try out - new copper and tuff blocks! 

In Update 1.21, the copper block family will be expanded to include Chiseled Copper, Copper Grate, Copper Door and Copper Trapdoor. We're also introducing a new light source in the form of the Copper Bulb which, along with the other new copper blocks, can, of course, be oxidized and waxed.

Tuff will be getting its own family of craftable blocks as well, including Stair, Slab, Wall, and Chiseled variants. These variants also apply to Tuff Bricks and Polished Tuff, and all of these can be crafted with the stonecutter. For more details on the new blocks, check out the changelogs linked further down in this post!

As with last week, we would love to hear your feedback on these new blocks! Aside from your general thoughts, we're also wondering: 

  • What are your thoughts on the Comparator signal used with the Copper Bulb?
  • Bonus question: Did you spot the new Crafter textures? Let us know what you think!

Once you've tried it out for yourself, drop your thoughts in the comment section below.

    Copper Grates should let flowing water through. If they already can, they should let it through from the top in addition to what it already does.

    I recently tried out the new copper grates when building, and though they were especially fitting for ventilation shafts coming up from sewage pipes or other underground tunnels.

    My suggestion: copper grates should reduce sunlight, the same way that leaves and cobwebs do. This would allow looking through them into dark places, without letting all the light in.

    I think it’s about time copper and tuff got some new blocks.

    I agree, as it gets old having the same blocks. It's time for new mobs and blocks to be added!

    Please revert the copper block change so it is 1tick delay again. You had it right the first time and the change to 2ticks is such a disappointing downgrade

    Could we get a copper variant of how the Iron Bars are, maybe similar to the Copper Grates texture or something new. And possibly Iron and Gold variations like the Copper Blocks, albeit any of the metal type blocks so they can have their own unique block family.

    How about reverting the unoxidised copper bulb to have 1 game tick of delay, and then have every additional stage of oxidisation add an additional game tick of delay.

    This would unfathomably benefit the redstone community to make tight-knit timings, align with the current 1gt delay on Bedrock addition, add add to immersive game play with the additional delay, on top of the dimmer light emission as oxidisation increases.

    I think the more oxidized a copper door and trapdoor is the more difficult it should be to open and if it is totally oxidized it would lock completely. The Breez could then deoxidize the copper and activate the copper doors and trapdoors because the Redstone would function despite the oxidation. This addition brings greater utility to the oxidation of copper as for the brightness of a copper lamp depending on its oxidation.

    Please add a copper grate pane. Just like glass panes, maybe 8 per instead of 16 per. This will enable nicer builds with copper grate windows.

    Not directly related to 1.21, but while I'm posting.. make minecarts with furnace at least as fast as the elytra to make it useful and make minecarts competitive with elytra for some situations. We don't see enough minecart use and the furnace cart has never been useful. In alpha it was outclassed by glitching and then quickly was replaced by powered rails.

    Copper Golems and Tuff Golems would make these block families complete and perfectly tie into the trial chambers. Both could add unique functionality to certain puzzles and traps and the community wants them so badly!

    Tuff bricks are definitely a bit ugly and clash with other bricks. Not sure what it is. Maybe they look too rounded.

    I think that waxed lightly weathered cut copper stairs should be secretly O. P.
