About Copper Ore

What is the Minecraft ID for Copper Ore?

The namespaced ID is minecraft:copper_ore, used in the /give command: /give @p minecraft:copper_ore 1. Numeric item IDs were removed in the 1.13 "Flattening", so modern versions only use the namespaced ID.

How do you mine Copper Ore in Minecraft?

Copper Ore has hardness 3 and requires a specific pickaxe tier to drop. See the Mining time table above for exact break times per pickaxe (wood, stone, iron, golden, diamond, netherite). Mining without the correct tool takes 5× longer and produces no drops.

What does Copper Ore smelt into in Minecraft?

Copper Ore smelts into Copper Ingot. A Blast Furnace smelts ores and metal items twice as fast as a regular Furnace.
