About this Mod

The textures of copper tools

ℹ️ This data pack (or mod) aims to lengthen the time you use wooden tools in a world beyond five seconds by completely removing stone tools and replacing them with copper ones. Copper tools are functionally identical to their stone counterparts except for their textures, recipes and anvil repair items. Copper blocks have been downgraded to wooden pickaxe tier to make progression possible.

In 1.21.9, copper tools were added as a vanilla feature, thus versions from this one onward will not be supported.

🔗 Fully compatible with Wooden to Flint Tools, a similar data pack that works well along this one.

🖼️ The data pack versions require their resource pack (Click on the desired version and download both files)

🌐 Supported languages: English, Czech, Toki Pona
