Obtaining[edit]
Breaking[edit]
Copper ore must be mined with a stone pickaxe or higher, or else it drops nothing.

- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Natural generation[edit]
Copper ore can generate anywhere in the Overworld in the form of mineral veins. In Java Edition, it generates with a periodic normal distribution from levels 0 to 96. In Bedrock Edition, it generates evenly between levels 4 and 63 with the same rarity as iron ore.
Usage[edit]
The primary usage of copper ore is to obtain copper ingots. Copper ingots can be crafted into copper blocks, which takes only 4 ingots, unlike most mineral blocks. Copper ore does not weather like its block counterpart, though the ore itself shows some oxidization.
