xyaneon / copper-nuggets

A Minecraft Fabric mod which simply adds Copper Nuggets.

Copper Nuggets

A very basic Fabric mod which only adds Copper Nuggets to Minecraft.

Background

This is the first Minecraft mod I have created, and is intentionally very basic for this reason.

Copper is a nice addition to Minecraft, but I find there's a couple minor issues with it:

• You cannot craft Copper Nuggets from it, which is a minor inconsistency with other Minecraft metals
• There are not as many useful recipes for Copper. In particular, it would be nice to use it as a material for armor/equipment, or a substitute for Iron in some recipes

This mod addresses the first bullet point, but not the second. That part was outside the initial scope for this project, but could be done either by adding more functionality to this mod, or creating a separate mod with a dependency on this one.

Alternative mod(s)

After creating this mod, I discovered that somebody else already made a Fabric mod called Copper Equipment, which appears to also implement Copper Nuggets and much more Copper-related functionality to make it a more useful resource. I have not personally tried it yet, but it might be a more useful alternative to what I made. It can be found here on Modrinth.
