TG's Copper Tools
Copper tools that sit between stone and iron, and are necessary to progress the game!
About this Mod
This mod adds copper tools to Minecraft!
The tools sit between stone and iron tier, and are required to progress the game!
Stone tools can no longer mine iron
Copper tools can mine up to iron, but not diamonds, gold, etc.
The crafting recipes for each tool are the same as for any tool, but with copper ingots instead of iron ingots.
I made this mod because I was unsatisfied with the other copper tools mods, and how the tools were either really bad, or basically just cheaper iron tools.
