Better Copper Armor (fortune)
Makes the copper armor actually useful, by giving the player fortune while wearing it!
About this Mod
Better copper armor
Do you feel like the copper armor is a useless part of the progression in survival Minecaft?
That is why I created this mod :)
What does it actually do?
Whenever you wear all four pieces of copper armor, it gives the player a "fortune" status effect
Fortune effect
The fortune effect works very similarly to the fortune 1 enchantment, by giving the player a 33% chance to gain an extra ore when mining veins.
Important notes:
- Only works on the same ores as the vanilla fortune enchantment
- Only triggers when the player holds a pickaxe without the fortune or silk touch enchantment
Why this mod?
Most Minecraft survival worlds start like this:
- You wander around, looking for loot or interesting spots
- You go mining, creating you first set of iron armor and tools
- Then you settle down, building a house, getting better gear and enchanting your items
I felt like the copper armor would fit very nicely in the second step, instead of the iron armor, the player crafts copper armor, trading some protection for better loot while mining. This makes the armor actually useful, since iron is not much harder to get so most people skip copper.
Later, once the player has enchanted gear, the copper armor becomes less useful, since it does not trigger with already fortune-enchanted pickaxes. This places the armor firmly as an early-game mining gear.
Disclaimer
This is my first mod, I am new to this, so if there are any bugs or you have any suggestions, let me know!
Thank you for trying my mod :)
