Simplest Copper Gear (archived)
by Team Solar
Simplest Copper Gear adds copper armor and tools for Forge and NeoForge, filling the gap between stone and iron gear in the early game.
What it does
The mod adds a full set of copper gear, including armor pieces and tools. Its stats are meant to sit between stone, leather and iron, so copper is usable as a material instead of being left out. Both the server and every player need it, since the environment is client and server. It is released under the MIT License, and files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The project is archived, so no new builds are expected.
Forge files are published for 1.20.1 and NeoForge files for 1.21.1, with the latest Forge build dated 2025-01-24 and the latest NeoForge build dated 2025-02-08.

What the author says
Do you think it's unfair that copper can't be used to make armor and tools on old versions? I do! This mod adds a full copper gear with characteristics between stone (leather) and iron, correcting this injustice.
