Uses

The only way to get electricity across gaps between crafting surfaces is to place copper wire or a conducting block in an unbroken series of vertically and/or horizontally adjacent spaces between them. Wire can be placed in any space with a back wall or adjacent solid block, crafting surface, or wire. Starting in version 1.5 it may also be placed on a solid block, allowing electricity to be conducted through it.

Copper wire is also used to craft various items:

• Flywheel
• Electric Stove
• Electric Kiln
• Electric Furnace
• Electric Metalwork Bench
• Solar Panel
• Electric Motor

It is also possible to use copper wire as a decoration.
