Copper Legacy V1

⚒️ Copper Legacy – Reviving Copper in Minecraft!

Version: 1.0 — [Forge / NeoForge – Minecraft 1.21.1]
Languages: 🇺🇸 English & 🇫🇷 French
Current Scope: Creative Mode only (Survival coming soon)

🧭 Overview

Copper Legacy expands Minecraft’s progression system by giving copper the role it deserves — turning it into a core material for tools, weapons, and powerful armor, including advanced crafting paths and legendary gear.

Heavily inspired by epic fantasy worlds (yes, you might recognize some Tolkien vibes), this mod adds new tiers of gear and paves the way for a deep forging system that rewards exploration and experimentation.

🔨 What’s included in Version 1.0

⚠️ All items are currently available in Creative Mode only.
Survival integration is in development for a future release.

🛡️ New Equipment Types:

• Copper gear: between stone and iron in strength

• Dark Copper gear: slightly weaker than diamond, but still durable

• Dark Diamond gear: stronger than Netherite (crafted via fusion)

• Legendary Armor Set (testing only): creative-only for now

Each item has its own stats, look, and purpose. Some will eventually offer unique effects when worn (in future updates).

🔁 Intended Progression (planned but not survival-ready yet)

• Copper Ingot + Raw Copper + Coal → Raw Dark Copper

• Smelt Raw Dark Copper → Dark Copper Ingot

• 6x Dark Copper + 3x Diamonds → Dark Diamond

• Fuse with Netherite → Ultimate gear tier

• Legendary Armor → will only be found in rare structures (WIP)

🔧 Upcoming Features (planned for v1.1+)

• Survival-mode resource generation

• Rare loot drops in vanilla structures (dungeons, pillager outposts, etc.)

• Passive effects per armor piece

• Unique set bonuses

• Custom structures (Ancient Temples, Forgotten Forges, etc.)

• Guardian mobs, events, and exploration elements

🧰 Compatibility

• ✅ NeoForge 1.21.1
