Copper Equipments

Copper Equipments is a lightweight mod that gives copper a real purpose in the game. It adds a full set of copper-based tools and armor, plus a few decorative blocks — all designed to feel like they belong in vanilla Minecraft.

🔧 Features

• 🛡️ Copper Armor: Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, and Boots with balanced durability and protection.
• 🪓 Copper Tools: Sword, Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, and Hoe — all craftable using copper ingots.
• 🐴 Copper Horse Armor: Because horses deserve style too.
• ♻️ Smelting & Recycling: Copper gear can be smelted into Copper Nuggets.
• 🧱 Copper Blocks: Copper Torch, Copper Lantern, Copper Chain and Copper Bars
• 🎨 Vanilla Textures: Faithful to Minecraft 1.21.9’s style.
• 🔁 Repairable: All items can be repaired using copper ingots.
• ✨ Enchantable: Copper gear supports enchantments like any vanilla equipment.
• 🧪 Oxidation : Blocks gradually oxidize over time, just like in vanilla. Gears also oxidize based on their age and durability. Gear behavior can be customized through the configuration settings.
• 🕯️ Waxing : Blocks and gear can be waxed to prevent further oxidation.
• 🪓 Fast Unwax & Scraping: In vanilla Minecraft you can wax a full stack of blocks directly in your inventory with honeycomb. But unwaxing or scraping requires placing them down and axing each one individually. Now simply drop them into a crafting table and they’ll be scraped in bulk!
• 💨️ Oxidizing powder: Tired of waiting for your blocks and items to age? Sprinkle some Oxidizing powder to accelerate oxidation instantly!
• 📦 Crafting Recipes: Fully integrated with the vanilla crafting system and added sound effects !
• 🏆 Advancements:
  • New custom advancements: Rust Rush and Shine Again.
  • Enhanced vanilla advancements: Wax On and Wax Off now adapted to copper mechanics.
  • Advancements mentioned above can also be triggered through crafting recipes.
• 📝 Configuration: Fully configurable and compatible with Mod Menu for easy adjustments.

🔮 What’s Next?

I’ve got big plans for future updates!

v1.0.7

• 🧟 Armor Spawn for mobs: Zombies, Husks, Skeletons, Strays, and Bogged can now spawn with armor just like vanilla.
• 🛡️ Copper Armor Trims: Copper armor should properly support trims, fixing the issue present in v1.0.5.
• 📦 Loot Tables: Most items can now be found in chests or obtained through trades.

v1.1 — Release

• 🐞 Bug Fixing: I'm going to create my own survival world to test all possible scenarios, just like a normal player would. I'm also leaving a little time for you all to find any bugs that I might have missed
• 🔄 Versioning: I will test and port the mod to several versions: my goal is full compatibility with all versions from 1.21.1 to 1.21.8
• 💬 Comment Code: Adding comments throughout the code to help other modders understand and reuse my work more easily
• 🎨 Gear retexture: I’m not an artist, so the exposed and weathered textures are just linear transitions between copper and oxidized. I plan to rework them to better match the vanilla vibe — with authentic copper stains and aging
• 📖 Wiki: Most players rely on mods like JEI to see recipes, but I want to go further — a dedicated wiki will expose everything the mod does without requiring users to read the code or learn Java.

For v1.2

• 🌹 Rosegold Equipment Set: A beautiful alloy of copper and gold with unique textures and balanced stats.
• 🚈 Copper Rails: New rail type that won’t cost you your precious iron.
• 🧲 Copper Hopper: A smart hopper that filters items for you — no more bulky redstone contraptions!
