Copper Reborn [1.20.1]
by ItsLivex
Copper Reborn gives copper a combat and survival role by adding a full set of copper armor and tools to Minecraft.
What it does
Copper is mostly used in vanilla Minecraft for building and decoration, and its crafted items are rarely useful in a survival world. This mod introduces a complete copper equipment set, so the metal can be turned into armor and weapons at another point in the progression through the game. The equipment is shaped to sit naturally beside the vanilla items and keeps their look and feel.
The mod is built for Forge and covers 1.20.1 only, with a single file published for that version. Copper Reborn runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is released under a custom license that is not open source; the author, ItsLivex, must grant permission before the mod or parts of it can be redistributed or reused outside the allowed uses, and the official license text lists the full terms.
Key features
Copper helmet and chestplate
Copper armor pieces for the head and torso, crafted from copper so the metal has a use beyond decoration.
Copper leggings and boots
The lower armor pieces complete a full copper set that players can wear as one outfit.
Copper sword, pickaxe, axe and shovel
A complete tool and weapon line made of copper, covering combat and the common digging and chopping tasks.
Vanilla-inspired design
Each item follows the shapes and textures of the vanilla equipment it parallels, so it fits into existing survival gear without clashing.

Use cases
Early-game survival
Players who reach copper early can craft armor and tools from it before moving on to iron and better materials.
Copper-focused builds
A world that already uses copper blocks for construction can use the same metal for the gear the player wears and carries.
Who it’s for: Players who want copper to have a practical role in survival, and server owners who want a copper equipment set on a Forge 1.20.1 server.
How it compares
Copper Equipment! is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is also published for Forge 1.20.1, making it the closest match in version and loader. Copper Tools is available for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20 – 1.20.6 and is not open source, under All rights reserved. lvchong's Copper tools covers Forge 1.19.4 – 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
