DatapacksJava
Purpose of Copper
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
What the idea?
Copper has the highest distribution among all ores, but it has almost no use beside decoration. Why not give it a more distinctive use in transportation, automation and machinery?
What has changed?
Rails now made with copper and honey, iron swapped to copper in few recipes related to redstone, also saddles and nametag now craftabble with copper
