Minecraft Bedrock Beta Debuts Copper Golem and New Copper Gear

The Vibrant Visuals preview highlights automated chest sorting alongside copper’s upgrade to functional resource ahead of Java release.

Overview

  • The Vibrant Visuals beta on Bedrock Edition makes copper tools, armor, chests and the Copper Golem available for immediate testing.
  • Players summon the Copper Golem by placing a carved pumpkin atop a copper block, and it automatically sorts items from copper chests into empty or matching ones.
  • Copper equipment now bridges the gap between stone and iron, offering faster mining speeds and moderate durability for early-game progression.
  • Copper items and the Copper Golem undergo oxidation over time, changing from bright orange to greenish patina unless sealed with wax.
  • A Java Edition snapshot release has not yet been dated, but Mojang plans to extend the update from Bedrock to Java soon.
