Why use Copper Equipment Mod?

Copper is one of the most underutilized materials in vanilla Minecraft, often relegated to decoration or lightning rods. This mod completely changes that by turning copper into a viable crafting material for survival gear. The progression feels natural stronger than stone, not quite as durable as iron making it perfect for early expeditions and mid-game exploration. Add in the oxidation mechanic and customizable stats, and you have a mod that’s both immersive and practical without breaking game balance.

FAQs

Can I enchant copper armor and tools?

Yes, copper gear can be enchanted like other equipment. However, be aware that armor will lose enchantments if it oxidizes.

No. For tools and weapons, oxidation is visual only. For armor, it removes trims and enchantments but doesn’t lower armor points.

How do I stop oxidation?

Currently, the mod does not provide a way to stop or reverse oxidation. It’s designed as a dynamic progression feature.

Can I change tool stats like attack damage or durability?

Yes, you can edit the configuration file to fully customize stats of all equipment.
