About this Mod

If you're like me and think copper is a bit too easy to get, then this datapack (also packaged as a mod) reduces the amount of raw copper that drops from copper ore and deepslate copper ore to match other metal ores. Like iron and gold ore, copper ore will drop only one piece of raw copper, and up to one additional piece with each level of Fortune.

Also includes compatibility for:

Tinkers' Construct (melting recipe)
Create (crushing recipe)
Thermal (pulverizer and induction smelter recipes)
