Cryptic irritations from the official Minecraft social accounts pointed to something that will soon come with Copper.
Minecraft post X/Twitter The account contains a message that informs “Cu in mines!” upon InstagramThe interior of the cave with blocks by developing “Cu 29”, you can see next to the message: “He teleported Steve to 29, 11, 63.54”.
What does all this mean? Well, CU is a Copper chemical symbol, 29 is its number in the periodic table, 11 is its group in the periodic table, while 63.54 is atomic mass. It’s definitely something to do with copper. But besides? Well, fans have one massive idea.
Copper has been in Minecraft for some time, because one of the many ore in the game can be collected and falling into blocks, ingots, stairs, doors and so on. There are even exposed, faded and oxidized versions of the material, so you can build various types with copper.
In 2021, Mojang proposed the concept of the copper Golem Mojang Golem as one of several potential mobs he considered – although unfortunately, the copper goal lost this year of voting live in Minecraft, and the concept was put on a shelf.

Copper Golem, however, remained a fan, but appearing as an Easter egg in subsequent motor voices. A helpful creation would act as an ordinary golem, although with the possibility of random pressure of copper.
One nice mechanic would see a golem slowly oxidizing with time, eventually transforming into a statue, unless players remember that they carved oxidation with an ax or if the golem was hit by lightning.
“What is something important with the participation of copper that Mojang teased in the past?” One excited fan wrote Reddit. “I think it’s quite obvious other.
Perhaps the best proof of returning to the copper golem comes from another official irritation, this time Published to the Minecraft YouTube channel. Here, Agnes Larsson, director of Minecraft, visits a real mine after a break from playing in Minecraft. As fans Reddit I pointed out that a low fragment of the game shown at the beginning of the film shows a house clearly shaped like a copper golem, made of copper blocks.
Can a copper golem finally get his moment in the sun? Maybe. It seems that both irritations indicate more underground where you can find copper ore. Exactly what Mojang indicates, players will have to wait and see.
Last month, Minecraft received a large graphic update thanks to the kindness of its live visual update – but only on supported platforms.
