The listing gives Minecraft 1.19, 1.18.2, 1.17. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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.

FAQ

Will you backport to X version?

No!

Why didn't you add rusted iron bars/ iron doors/ cauldrons/ golems/ etc?

In vanilla not all blocks containing copper oxidize (i.e. lightning rods), only the block of copper and cut copper do. We felt like it was important to be consistent with that precedent and it would be difficult to draw the line of what blocks containing iron do/don't rust.

I found a bug!

Oh no! Please create a Github issue on the mod's repository.
