4 Stages of how Cut Copper Slab ages

In Minecraft, cut copper slabs naturally age in 4 different stages.

At each stage, the color/appearance of the cut copper slab changes as does the block name. Here are the 4 stages of aging for cut copper slab:

Aging Block Appearance
First Stage cut copper slab Cut Copper Slab Shiny brown
Second Stage exposed cut copper slab Exposed Cut Copper Slab Brown with green flecks
Third Stage weathered cut copper slab Weathered Cut Copper Slab Green with brown flecks
Fourth Stage oxidized cut copper slab Oxidized Cut Copper Slab Green

As the cut copper slab ages, the block changes from cut copper slab (which is a shiny brown) into exposed cut copper slab (which is brown with green flecks). Next, the exposed cut copper slab turns into weathered cut copper slab (which is green with brown flecks). Finally, weathered cut copper slab turns into oxidized cut copper slab (which is a solid green color).
