About this Mod
What does this mod do?
Makes all copper oxidize as if fully spaced - removes the neighbor-density slowdown while keeping vanilla timing and behavior.
Highlights
- Works for every oxidizable copper variant: blocks, cut blocks, slabs, stairs, doors, trapdoors, grates, bulbs.
- Vanilla feel preserved: uses the normal random-tick pacing and stage multipliers.
- Waxing & scraping unchanged (waxed copper won’t age; axes/honeycomb behave normally).
- Multiplayer-safe: server or client; no config required.
- Lightweight: no Fabric API; touches only the oxidation logic.
Compatibility
Minecraft: 1.21.8 - 1.21.11 (Fabric)
Requires: Fabric Loader (no Fabric API)
Likely incompatible with mods that replace copper oxidation / degradable behavior.
Quick test
Place a dense 10×10 of copper next to a spaced checkerboard; both should age at a similar pace.
/gamerule randomTickSpeed still affects overall speed (just like vanilla).
Known issues
None reported yet. If you see odd interactions with other oxidation-tweaking mods, please open an issue on my Discord.
Enjoy building with copper without the spacing tax!

Server lagging with OxidizeAnyway – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if OxidizeAnyway consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
