How to craft new copper blocks in Minecraft 1.21 update

Mojang Studios recently announced the upcoming Minecraft 1.21 update, which will come with new copper and tuff blocks. A few days ago, they released a snapshot of the 23w43a version, where they added these new blocks for players to test. Since copper and tuff were materials that did not have many features and variants, their new blocks were a welcome addition. They were initially announced at Mojang's live event on October 15, 2023.

Since they have been added to the snapshot version and are available for everyone, here are the crafting recipes for all the new copper blocks.
