Prior to the 2025 update, copper in Minecraft didn’t hold much value. Many players discarded it due to its limited uses. However, the latest changes have made it essential. One of the exciting new features is the ability to create Copper Golems, helpful companions for your base. To further enhance their usefulness, you can craft copper chests. Keep in mind that to access the recipe for a copper chest, you first need to build a Copper Golem, which I’ll explain in detail below.

How to Craft a Copper Chest

Once you’ve constructed a Copper Golem, it will produce one copper chest automatically. However, one chest won’t suffice for your needs! To create more, you’ll require copper ingots, a wooden chest, and a crafting table.

Step 1: Start by crafting a wooden chest of any type.

Step 2: Place the chest on your crafting table and surround it with copper ingots, as illustrated in the accompanying image.

Step 3: Remove the completed copper chest and place it wherever you’d like.

The fascinating aspect of the Copper Golem is its ability to take items you’ve placed in a copper chest and automatically sort them into your regular storage chests.

Additionally, thanks to the update, copper can now be fashioned into tools, weapons, and armor, providing you with ample opportunities to utilize this resource.
