Minecraft copper arrived in the long-awaited 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update, introduced as part of Mojang’s promise to the community to spruce up the cave and mountain systems. As well as copper, the update added new Minecraft mobs such as adorable mountain goats and sweet little axolotls.

But with more uses than just building, how do you use copper, how does it work, and where can you find it?
