Copper Ore is required to create Copper Ingots in Minecraft. The resource is created in the form of a Copper vein, meaning that you will typically find a number of Copper ore blocks grouped together. It is recommended to bring a Stone Pickaxe, or a pickaxe of a higher quality, because Copper Ore extracted with an instrument or other item isn't likely to drop any.
Copper Ore is spawned at the Y-levels 0 to 96, with a higher chance of being spawned in the middle layers (Y48). It is therefore recommended to begin looking for copper a little lower than sea level (Y63). If it occurs between layers Y0 and The Copper ore will be in the form of Deepslate Copper Ore. The latter has a higher degree of hardness than normal Copper Ore and takes longer to mine. Since it's also extremely uncommon, it's best to stick with the regular Copper Ore type. Dripstone cave biomes also contain large veins of Copper ore.

Spyglass. Place one Amethyst Shard on top of two Copper Ingots to craft a Spyglass.
How do you wax Copper in Minecraft
Similar to real life, Minecraft copper changes its color because of the process of oxidation. The above image shows the different stages of Copper Oxidation in Minecraft. If you do not want your copper to change color you can apply wax to it (this will keep the current color, not reset it). Simply attach a honeycomb to the block of copper.
Alternately, you could scrape the Copper block using an axe. This will lower the amount of oxidation by one (weathered copper will become exposed copper). Finally, while you can't really plan this lightning strikes will completely remove the oxidation.
