How to unlock the Wax on, Wax off achievement in Minecraft - Definitive Guide
For those who intend to do this in survival.
In short: You need 4+ copper block/36+ ore , an axe, 16 honeycombs, Stonecutter
For this achievement you'll need to apply a honeycomb, the wax, to all 16 copper block variants AND remove it using an axe.
These blocks are:
Block of Copper
Cut Copper block
Cut Copper Stairs
Cut Copper Slab
As well as their Exposed/Weathered/Oxidized variants.
The way it works is that blocks "degrade" or oxidize over time when placed in order of:
Normal(solid brown) > Exposed > Weathered > Oxidized(solid green)
Using an axe on an unwaxed block reverts/polishes the block 1 step so realistically you only need 4 oxidized copper blocks.
Use 3 of these to craft an oxidized cut block, stair and slab using the stonecutter.
Or alternatively just craft the normal variants and have those oxidize (You'll need more copper this way but no stonecutter).
Then just place the 4 types of oxidized variants each 4 blocks apart, apply the wax, remove the wax and polish the block 1 stage, and repeat this for all oxidation stages. You can check the achievement progress before polishing to be safe (25% per stage/variant).
To get the materials:
Copper: Can be mined as ore pretty much anywhere, smelted into ingots with a furnace then crafted into blocks
Honeycomb: use sheers on beehives with honey, found most commonly in (sunflower) plains or flower forests, or occasionally in other forests or hills.
Stonecutter and axe: Craft using crafting table
Tips:
- Blocks when placed close together degrade slower placing them 4 blocks apart, speeds up the progress by a lot. It will still take a while, use this time to place more copper of do something else.
- Copper oxidizes randomly over time, the more blocks placed the more likely a block degrades,
basically place lots of blocks with 4 spaces between to speed things up.
- When using an old world, copper still spawns but not in areas that have been previously loaded/visited. Nether portals and elytra+fireworks can be used to travel distances quickly.
- Bees attack when you collect honey, placing a campfire underneath makes them docile.
- Applying wax: orange particles. Removing wax: white particles

So do I just need 36 raw ore? How much total do I need?

Obviously not, check how many solid blocks you need for each piece, not to mention that with only one of each piece it will take a while for all of them to oxidize. Get at least 4 sets of each piece to speed up the process

For anyone wondering how to play downloaded worlds, it's as simple as double clicking on the .MCWORLD file while having Minecraft Windows 10 Edition open. The map should start importing and will go under your Worlds.
