New Recipes for Copper

In Minecraft, copper ore is used only in a limited number of recipes, which is a significant problem for players: whenever one goes down into the mines, one extracts a sufficient amount of ore, which can then be smelted into copper. However, unfortunately, there are no applications for it since, for some reason, the developers from Mojang have not come up with any clear idea as to how to make use of this material. That is why custom mods that add a lot of new recipes specifically for copper come into being, and one of them is called More Useful Copper, which has reached more than 700 thousand downloads. In this review, we are going to tell you in detail what the advantages and features of this mod are and what recipes it adds.

When copper was added to Minecraft, many players immediately began to wonder why we need this material in the game at all. Why is it possible to mine so much ore, given that its sphere of application in the game world is extremely narrow? The designer of the More Useful Copper mod reasoned in a similar fashion and decided to change the standard mechanics and add many new recipes for players so that their ingots would not be a dead weight in their chests. He has mainly added the possibility of using copper ingots to create the standard items that can be crafted in Minecraft from other materials. So if you are interested in what exactly this mod brings to the game, be sure to read our review.

By default, copper is of little use in the game and is mainly used for making beautiful greenish blocks that can be got because of its oxidation. It is a long process, and the resulting blocks are primarily decorative. The designer has decided to slightly change the mechanics and add more applications. Accordingly, copper will now be used for crafting many things, and since this material is often found in mines, you will be able to make armor, tools, and weapons even at the initial stages of your survival. They will be way better than the gold options but weaker than the iron ones, and this circumstance is certainly worth considering!

At the start of their development, the player goes down into mines to get the first resources. And it is often possible to find copper earlier than iron, which is quite a usual situation. Accordingly, thanks to the More Useful Copper mod, you will now be able to craft different types of items and armor from copper, as the designer has added such a possibility to the game. We recommend you just try it to see whether it is noteworthy or not. But even if you do not use copper in Minecraft, the mod will not spoil the gameplay in any way. It simply adds a lot of different items: it is enough to look at the screenshots we made to evaluate their range.

You will be able to craft different tools, weapons, armor, and buckets. All these items, except buckets, are enchantable, so even they can get effects for your faster development in the game world and gaining some advantages in combat or resource extraction. Let us say the player does not have the opportunity to find iron at the moment but has copper. They can easily craft a pickaxe and armor and descend into a mine to further develop and find new ore. Previously, in the vanilla game version, you just stockpiled copper or made blocks from it for subsequent oxidization and use for decorative purposes.

Still, the More Useful Copper mod is very helpful in the decorative design as well, as it adds several useful elements, such as colorful buckets, scissors, buttons, pressure plates, and chains. All that features the copper style and looks very cool, so it is odd that Mojang did not add any applications for this material, given such an impressive appearance. Players have always created something new in the Minecraft universe, and it is only thanks to the huge fan community that this game manages to keep the top positions for many years, both in terms of the number of copies sold and the online popularity on all servers.

The new items are crafted in the same way as the usual ones but from copper. Thus, to create a pickaxe, you will need three copper ingots and sticks, the shovel requires one ingot, and the sword requires two ingots. The same pattern is peculiar to the items from other materials. That is another advantage of the More Useful Copper mod, as you will not have to memorize new recipes. You know them already except for the main ingredient, and the basic principle is familiar to you.

Besides, this mod brings the copper golem, which will protect the player from various threats and mobs. It resembles the iron golem but has a copper hue. Its behavior and all other habits are the same, but it can be spawned only artificially. Thus, if you go to a peaceful village and it is attacked by zombies or other mobs, a standard golem made of iron will appear. In other words, the standard game mechanics still remain, so we recommend that you try to install the More Useful Copper mod and check all the features of this add-on.

Note! Given that you spawned them deliberately, the golems will follow you everywhere and will not have any clear purpose. You can do that both in the Overworld and other dimensions, as the copper golem is crafted in the same way as the ordinary one. Besides, More Useful Copper features the appropriate spawn egg in creative mode.
