This data pack will not be further developed, as Mojang has added copper tools and armor in version 1.21.9. This data pack is therefore no longer necessary. Thank you for the positive feedback!



Copper Age


Copper Age brings copper into its long-overdue role as a functional material in Minecraft. This datapack and accompanying resourcepack add fully usable copper tools, weapons, and armor with unique models and full support for armor trims.

The gear is balanced between stone and iron, making copper a viable early-game upgrade path. Designed for seamless integration with vanilla gameplay.

Features

  • Adds crafting recipes for:
    • Copper sword, axe, pickaxe, shovel, hoe
    • Full set of copper armor (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots)
  • All armor pieces are compatible with armor trims
  • Custom resourcepack for unique copper gear textures and models
  • Balanced stats:
    • Stronger than stone, but weaker than iron
    • Appropriate durability and damage values
  • No loot tables or vanilla items modified
