Better Copper Tools
by ATomSize
Better Copper Tools gives copper its own hoe, axe, shovel and pickaxe, so players who craft copper gear get a full tool set before iron.
What it does
Copper hoe, copper axe, copper shovel and copper pickaxe are added as craftable tools, and an advancement is granted when the set is made. The additions fit adventure progress for players who want a mid-tier option between stone and iron. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it runs on client and server. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and the license is All rights reserved.
Key features
Copper hoe

Copper axe, shovel and pickaxe
Copper axe, shovel and pickaxe join the set, letting miners and woodcutters use copper before moving to iron.
Crafting advancement
A new advancement is granted when a player crafts copper tools, marking the step in progress.
