Copperstorm
Copperstorm gives copper tools, armor and weapons that oxidize over time, can be waxed to halt that process, and restore gradually when honeycombs are applied.
What it does
Copper equipment moves through the Unaffected, Exposed, Weathered and Oxidized stages, and each stage reduces damage, speed, protection and effective durability. Oxidized gear stays usable. A full set covers the sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe and armor, and each piece has a waxed variant that stops further aging. Waxing takes one honeycomb, while eight honeycombs start a gradual restoration, and an axe scrapes away one stage at a time.
Thunderstorms can draw lightning toward chosen spots, and nearby lightning rods keep priority. A hit from lightning that lands on the player adds an Electric Charge, and pressing Shift+F turns ordinary arrows into charged arrows whose electric damage hits only the struck target. Charged arrows are a combat option that works without any extra setup.
Copperstorm runs on Fabric and requires Fabric API and Java 17 for Minecraft 1.20.1. It is installed on the server and by every player, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source. Restoration progress and time until the next stage appear in tooltips.
Key features
Oxidation stages
Copper items advance through four stages over time, and each stage makes them slightly weaker.
Waxing and restoration
One honeycomb waxes a piece to stop aging, while eight honeycombs start a gradual restoration toward full condition.
Charged arrows
Shift+F turns normal arrows into charged arrows that deal electric damage, with a short transfer cooldown.
Lightning attraction
During thunderstorms the mod can attract lightning, and nearby lightning rods take priority over other targets.
Inventory-wide aging
Copper aging is tracked for item stacks in inventories, including modded and vanilla containers, on armor stands and on items lying on the ground, and the check never has to scan the world.
