If you are wondering where to find Copper in Core Keeper, it’s simple. Just explore the map by mining until you discover Copper Ore walls. You can find these Copper Ore walls by searching for sparkling dots off in the distance, as shown below. 

Mining these Copper ore walls will grant you several Copper Ore. But to make anything useful out of the Copper ore, you will need to turn them into Copper Bars. 

To make Copper Bars, you will need to make a Furnace with 20 Dirt walls. This part is easy as you should already have that amount just from trying to mine Copper ore. 

That said, take your Dirt walls and go find or build a Workbench using eight wood. Opening the workbench will allow you to make a furnace. After making the Furnace, place it on the ground and then smelt the Copper ore by throwing it inside it. 

Wait a few seconds, and you will start to get Copper Bars after the Furnace finishes smelting the ore. You can then take these Copper bars and make several useful items. Below is the complete list of things that you can craft using Copper Bars.
