Minecraft Developer Teases Something Big to Do With Copper, and Fans Think a Long-Lost Mob May Return

Recent cryptic messages from Minecraft's official social media channels hint at a significant development related to copper. The Minecraft X/Twitter account posted "C U in the mines!" and an Instagram post featured a cave interior with blocks spelling out "CU 29," along with the message: "Teleported Steve to 29, 11, 63.54." "Cu" is the chemical symbol for copper, "29" is its position on the periodic table, "11" indicates its group, and "63.54" denotes its atomic mass. Copper has been part of Minecraft, allowing players to harvest and smelt it into various forms. The game features multiple variants of copper, including exposed, weathered, and oxidized types. In 2021, Mojang introduced the concept of a copper golem during a Minecraft Live event, but it did not win the community vote. The copper golem was designed to function like a regular golem with the ability to press copper buttons at random and could oxidize over time. Fans speculate that the recent hints indicate a potential return of the copper golem. An official teaser on the Minecraft YouTube channel features director Agnes Larsson visiting a real-life mine, and observant fans noted a gameplay snippet showcasing a house resembling a copper golem made from copper blocks. Minecraft recently rolled out a significant graphical enhancement with its Vibrant Visuals update, limited to supported platforms.
