This block’s primary purpose is to work with a copper golem. Copper golem mainly interacts with a copper chest and takes any item that is in it, and then places it in other regular chests.When spawning a copper golem using a copper block and a carved pumpkin, the copper chest also gets created. Apart from that, players can craft separate copper chests with eight copper ingots and one chest on a crafting table.If there is no copper golem around, the copper chest can only be used as a regular chest that only players can open.Copper toolsCopper tools and weapons can also be crafted in this update (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Mojang Studios)Along with the copper golem and chest, Mojang also decided to add copper tools and weapons.
