Do you feel like the copper armor is a useless part of the progression in survival Minecaft?
That is why I created this mod :)
Whenever you wear all four pieces of copper armor, it gives the player a "fortune" status 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:
Most Minecraft survival worlds start like this:
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.
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 :)
