Copper Is Useful Now
Copper Is Useful Now adds copper swords, pickaxes, axes, hoes and a full armor set, giving the metal a role in tools and combat.
What it does
Copper tools and armor are crafted from copper and appear alongside the vanilla equipment. The copper hoe is quicker than the stone hoe and lasts longer, which speeds up farming. The armor set gives a protection level between leather and iron, so players have another option in early and mid-game combat.
The mod is meant for players who want more use for copper in a survival world. It runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need Fabric API and the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the latest build is 1.0.1, dated 2024-03-27. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, but the project is not open source.

Copper weapons and tools
A copper sword, pickaxe, axe and hoe add a new tier of tools made from the metal.

Helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots in copper give players a new level of protection.
Faster copper hoe
The copper hoe works faster than a stone hoe and has more durability, which makes farming quicker.
Unique tool properties
Each copper tool has its own stats, so choosing between them affects crafting and combat decisions.
