What it does

Copper tools and armour from a later Minecraft release are backported here, so players on 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 can craft them. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with 1.1.0 as the latest build for each loader, dated 2026-01-08. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Copper tool set

    Copper pickaxes, axes, shovels, swords and hoes are added as craftable tools for early progression.

  2. Copper armour

    A full copper armour set is added, giving players a light early option before iron.

  3. Copper as a useful resource

    Copper is one of the most common ores, so the new tools and armour give it a practical use beyond a few minor recipes.
