More Useful Copper
by Lupin
Copper gets new uses in More Useful Copper, which adds copper variants of default items, copper statues and aquatic copper redstone.
What it does
The mod gives copper a practical role by adding copper variants of some default items. Its author describes the work as an ongoing expansion, with new unique items planned beyond the current release. The mod requires MonoLib, which must be installed alongside it on every loader.
Version 3.0 added two headline features: copper redstone that works underwater and decorative copper statues. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.20 – 26.1.2. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is not open source, and it is covered by All rights reserved, though public source links are available.
Key features
Copper tool variants
Default items gain copper versions, giving copper a crafting role it lacked in vanilla.
Underwater copper redstone
Copper redstone can carry a signal underwater, which lets circuits work in flooded areas.
Copper statues
Decorative statues made from copper can be placed as building pieces.
Planned expansion
The author states that more unique copper items are planned in later updates.
