Better
Copper Equipment
is a Datapack for 1.21.9+ that upgrades the copper sword, tools and armor by changing the attack damage, attack speed and armor stats to set the stats between the stone/leather and the iron. It allows the Copper Pickaxe to mine gold and redstone and it prevents the Stone Pickaxe to mine iron.

🔼 Copper Pickaxe change

The Copper Pickaxe can now mine the Gold Ore, Deepslate Gold Ore, Raw Gold Block, Gold Block, Redstone Ore, Deepslate Redstone Ore (the Nether Gold Ore and the Gilded Blackstone too as vanilla).


🔽 Stone Pickaxe change

The Stone Pickaxe can no longer mine the Iron Ore, Deepslate Iron Ore, Raw Iron Block and Iron Block, now you have to mine copper with the Stone Pickaxe before and then you can mine iron with the Copper Pickaxe.

Do not use decimals for attack damage and armor points, always use integers. Same with health and satiety

Why ?
And why you are talking about Health and Satiety ?

1. Because the game doesn't render them

2. Because they work the same way; they don't render decimals, only integers

And so ?
It's just the display, but otherwise decimal numbers work in the game code. For proof, if you put 2 pieces of armor that gives 1.5 armor for each piece, it will display in your armor bar 3 armor points.

How does it look like when wearing copper boots/helmet alone? Does it 'hide' the .5?

No.. I mean, the ARMOR BAR thingy, there's no sprite for *half* an armor point



Okay yes there's 20 total armor points, 1 half counting up to 20, but there's no 0.5 sprite in that half



So how does it look like equipping that alone in the armor bar

It's the same for Health Bar, you can have for example 19.1 Health Point and it displays 10 hearts maybe, same for Armor Bar, but you have really 0.5 more point but not visible

It's like this that Minecraft works, I can't change the display
