Hendrix's Better Copper Age
by Minehendrix
Copper blocks in Hendrix's Better Copper Age gain a set of functions: copper golems can press copper buttons, copper rails change minecart speed, and a copper campfire burns with copper fire.
What it does
Copper Golems interact with the Copper Buttons added by the mod, a behavior the original Copper Age design intended. Copper Buttons act as a unique redstone component: while not oxidized they stay pressed for 20 ticks, and that duration grows by 10 ticks with each oxidation level. Waxing, scraping or pressing a button resets its state, and the golem presses it only some of the time. Copper Weighted Pressure Plates, crafted from two copper ingots, sit between stone and gold versions in behavior.
Copper Rails are powered rails that need no redstone input. They accelerate minecarts less as the rail oxidizes, so an oxidized rail gives a slower ride than a fresh one. Copper Fire is produced when a Copper Block is set alight by a green flame, emits light level 13 and deals 1.5 times fire damage. A Copper Campfire is crafted like a Soul Campfire and uses copper fire, dealing the same damage as a regular campfire and dropping copper nuggets when broken without Silk Touch. Copper Horns play different sounds depending on how the player is looking and sneaking, and the goats in the mod drop Copper Horns in place of regular and screaming goat horns.
The mod is published for Fabric only and runs on the client and server. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.

Copper Fire and Copper Campfire
Copper blocks ignite with a green flame, and the campfire built on copper fire emits light level 13.
