Crafting is one of the most essential tasks you’ll regularly tackle in Starsand Island, and there are lots of key resources you need to do so. Copper Ore is one such material, and it can be rather tricky to locate at first, as you’ll likely not know where it spawns.
All items have general fixed spawn locations, so after you gather them, they’ll eventually reappear in the same area, allowing you to learn and memorize the right spots to hunt for them. Finding resources can be tough early on, but once you know where to look, it’s much easier. Here’s how to get Copper Ore in Starsand Island.

How to find Copper Ore in Starsand Island
Copper Ore can be mined from Copper Ore rock nodes or found on the ground in the wild. Generally, the best way to get it is to search for rock nodes, as these have much more Copper Ore available to mine, and where there’s one rock node, there’s usually at least a couple more nearby. Any Copper Ore you find on the ground is usually just one or two pieces, which isn’t a whole lot to work with.
If you check your Islandpedia, it’ll tell you that Copper can be found anywhere, but this doesn’t seem to actually be the case, as I’ve scoured the main Starsand Island area and Moonlit Forest but only found it in a select few spots. This means you’ll need to venture to specific areas if you want to stock up on this resource.
Copper Ore location in Starsand Island
Copper Ore can be found all around the wild, but is easiest to find in the Moonlit Forest area and is also decently abundant around the southern end of your house plot. Here are the best spots to go searching for this resource.
- In rock nodes near the pathway that leads into the Moonlit Forest, slightly south of your house.
- Scattered on the ground all around your house and the forest area south of it.
- On the other side of the stone door you break during the Warm Light quest.
- Near the entrance to the Moonlit Forest, which is the Evernight Forest area.
- Around the Gate of Life region in the Moonlit Forest.
There may be additional spots you can venture to to find Copper Ore, but so far, these are the only ones we’ve found. We’ll keep searching, though, and add any additional locations we find in the future here. For now, though, you can rest and revisit the same locations as needed to acquire more of this material.
How to get Copper Ingots in Starsand Island
Once you have Copper Ore, you can convert it into Copper Ingots using a Furnace. Each Copper Ingot costs four Copper Ore and one Charcoal to make, so you need quite a lot of Copper Ore to really stock up on this material.
