Useful Copper
by vKnitOn
Useful Copper changes copper so that it can be used for tools, adding a copper sword, pickaxe, axe, hoe and shovel to the game.
What it does
Copper, which is common in the early game, becomes a material for a full set of basic tools. The set covers the sword, pickaxe, axe, hoe and shovel, so a player can work the early game with copper gear instead of stone.
Both the server and every player need the mod, because the copper tools are registered as items on each side. It is published for Fabric only, with a single game version, 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.2.0, released on 2024-06-02. The code is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Copper sword
A sword made from copper, placed among the new tools as an early weapon option.
Copper pickaxe and axe
Copper pickaxes and axes allow mining and chopping with a material that is easier to obtain than iron.
Copper hoe and shovel
A copper hoe and shovel complete the tool set, so each basic tool type has a copper version.
