Here’s all you need to know about Minecraft The Copper Age update.

The upcoming major content update for Minecraft finally has a name, and it’s called the Copper Age. This is the third game drop for the year 2025, and it features a ton of cool new features to check out. 

For this update, it’s all about helping you organize your chests instead of a new mob. On top of that, there are also new tools you can craft with cooper. This adds more value to the long-ignored type of ore in the game.

With that said, here is what you need to know about the Copper Age update in Minecraft.

All new Minecraft content in The Copper Age update

Here is a quick rundown of all the new content arriving in the upcoming update:

New Mob: the Copper Golem

This new mob is spawned by placing a jack o’lantern on top of a copper block. This copper golem will spawn with a copper chest, which it will use to transfer items. You can use a copper block of any oxidation level. The golem will spawn with the same xodiation level. This allows you to have a wide variety of color options for the new mob.

When you place items in the copper chest, the tiny golem will pick them up and sort them into other regular chests. They can be a bit slow as they can only transport a few items at a time. So it’s up to you on how you can make their job more efficient.

Alongside the new mob, you can also craft a wide variety of tools. This includes a copper pickaxe, copper axe, copper hoe, copper shovel, and a copper sword. On top of that, you can also craft a copper armor set. Your noble steed also won’t miss out on the new update, as you can also get copper horse armor.

New Decorative Blocks

To complete the Copper Age update in Minecraft, are a plethora of decorative blocks you can craft. Here is a quick rundown of the new craftable items:

  • Shelf
  • Copper chains
  • Copper bars
  • Copper lanterns
  • Copper torches

On top of the new items, there are also changes to existing items. The lightning rod can now oxidize unless you apply wax to it. Furthermore, there will also be changes to the dye arts. This should make them unique to each other, aside from their color. 

When is the Copper Age update releasing?

There is no exact release date for the Copper Age update in Minecraft. Considering it’s part of the Fall 2025 content, we can expect it to arrive sometime in September to November this year. Until then, we’ll just have to keep our eyes peeled for more updates in the future.
