A copper golem statue is the result of a copper golem fully oxidizing and petrifying into a block. It can be posed in four different ways, or it can be reanimated by scraping it with an axe enough times.

Copper golem statues can be broken by hand, but using a pickaxe is the fastest. A copper golem statue retains its pose when broken.

This section describes content that is currently in development.

 

This content has appeared in development versions for Third Drop 2026, but the full update adding it has not been released yet.

An oxidized copper golem statue generates in abandoned camps.

Once fully oxidized, a copper golem has a 0.58% chance per tick to become a copper golem statue and take a random pose, provided it is not waxed and is fully located in air (that is, a copper golem cannot turn into a statue while underwater or standing on a partial block such as a slab, as part of its hitbox is not located within an air block). This process takes on average 8.62 seconds. During the transformation, any items held by the copper golem are dropped.

Interacting with a copper golem statue changes its pose, cycling through four poses: standing, sitting, running, and star. In Bedrock Edition, the player's hand must be empty in order to cycle through poses.

• 
  Default, standing pose
• 
  Sitting pose
• 
  Running pose
• 
  Star pose

Unwaxed copper golem statues have four stages of oxidation, including the initial normal state. Lightning bolts and axes can remove the oxidation on copper golems statues. Using a honeycomb on a copper golem statue prevents it from oxidizing.

As the block begins to oxidize (exposed), it gets discolored and green spots begin to appear. As the oxidation continues (weathered), the block is a green color with brown spots. In the last stage (oxidized), the block is teal with several green spots.

Using an axe on an unoxidized unwaxed copper golem statue reanimates it into an unoxidized unwaxed copper golem.

Copper golem statues break when pushed by pistons, cannot be pulled by them and they don't stick to slime blocks or honey blocks.

A redstone comparator can read the state of a copper golem statue and emit a signal strength based on its pose.
