Leaf's Copper Backport
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.19–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.

This mod brings the addition of the copper armor and toolset introduced in a later version of Minecraft to popular versions of the game for modding.
If you want to go a step further and add the dyes from the newest versions, check out my dye backport resource pack here!
Take a look at the copper toolset, armor set, and yes, even nuggets!
