Dragon’s Breath Oxidization

Copper oxidation is supposed to be a lengthy process, which I admire. It adds a sense of age and history to a build, and thus is a meaningful mechanic. However, there are some situations where you just want Copper to age really fast. The blue-green color is perfect for some builds, even pixel art can make use of it! Therefore, I think there should be a method to speed up Copper oxidation that isn't too easy to obtain, but also isn't tedious. Dragon's Breath is one of, if not the only acidic materials in Minecraft I can think of. Acidic compounds are known to speed up Copper oxidation IRL, so I think it would be a perfect feature to add to Minecraft. Using Dragon's Breath on a Copper block (via right clicking or crafting) will advance the Copper block to its next stage of oxidation. Additionally, the Ender Dragon's actual fireballs will quickly oxidize copper on contact. Want to oxidize Copper en masse? No problem! Throwing a Lingering Potion (as they contain dragon's breath) will oxidize all Copper blocks in range! Different types of Lingering Potions will corrode Copper quicker than others. The formula is as follows: Any other Lingering Potion - Oxidizes until Exposed Lingering Potion of Harming - Oxidizes until Weathered Lingering Potion of Harming II - Oxidizes until Oxidized

  This is a great idea, the same thing just occurred to me. Another reason to use dragon’s breath. I was also imagining it could be funny to see people try and oxidize copper by placing it during the dragon fight, if the bottled breath didn’t work. Trade mass oxidization for a little risk
