Backported Copper Stuff
Backported Copper Stuff brings a full copper armor set and a copper tool set into the game, using the native copper ingots added in recent versions.
What it does
Copper helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots are joined by copper sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe. Their durability and efficiency sit between the stone and iron tiers, so copper gear can be used early in a survival world before iron is worth spending. The mod relies on the native copper ingots, which keeps it consistent with the world.
Key features
Copper armor set
Helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots made from copper, matching the protection of the other armor tiers.
Copper tools and weapons
A sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe with stats tuned between stone and iron.
Early-game use
Copper gear lets players start using ore they usually find in abundance, saving iron for more complex machinery and late-game items.
