No Damn Iron
No Damn Iron is a Fabric equipment mod that adds a copper toolset and a copper armorset to Minecraft 1.21.7.
What it does
Copper tools and armor are the content of the mod, aimed at players who want copper gear in place of iron. The author's note says the mod replaces iron with copper across the game, and the armor textures were made by the author from scratch.
Both sides need the mod, so a server running it requires every joining player to install it as well. Files exist only for Fabric and only for 1.21.7, with 0.0.3-1.21.7 as the latest build from 2025-07-29. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source and issue tracker are public.

A set of copper tools is added, covering the common tool types that players use early in a survival world.

Public source code

What the author says
The mod for when you have no damn iron, but plenty of copper. I probably won't update this since this is a planned vanilla feature.
