Tools have been pretty static in Minecraft for a long time, at least when it comes to the early game. The progression has went from wood to stone to iron for a long time when it comes to tools, and from leather to iron for a long time when it comes to armor.

But with the big copper update in Minecraft, things have changed. Now copper tools fit that spot between stone and iron, and for armor, between leather and iron. This changes the early game significantly, and is one of many reasons to be much more excited about finding copper in the future.

How To Craft Copper Tools

Copper is a very abundant resource found above the Y-coordinate of zero. Each copper block is usually going to gain you more than one copper ore, which can then be smelted into one copper ingot, each. You'll need a stone pickaxe to mine copper, as mining it with a wooden pickaxe is going to destroy it.

The recipe for the copper tools is the same as with other tools, just with copper rather than with iron, diamond, stone, etc.

Copper pickaxes do not allow you to obtain things like diamonds, but they do mine quicker and last longer than stone pickaxes. This makes them a very good option for busywork like digging a bunch of stone, as opposed to wasting iron or diamond for that.

How To Craft Copper Armor

Copper armor is going to protect you more than leather armor, but less than iron armor. Again, copper is going to be more abundant than iron, meaning it's going to be much easier to make a suit of copper armor.

But, you're generally going to want as much protection as you can get, and armor doesn't break nearly as quickly as tools. Once you've got enough iron, most players are still going to want wear iron armor rather than stick with copper.

How To Craft A Copper Chest

A Copper Chest is going to be necessary if you're looking to involve the new Copper Golem into your organizational plans. The Copper Golem is going to take items from a Copper Chest and distribute them to other nearby chests; if you've set things up correctly, they'll act as an automatic sorting system.

There are two ways to create a Copper Chest:

• Create a Copper Golem by placing a Carved Pumpkin on top of a Copper Block. This will create a Copper Golem on top of a Copper Chest.
• In a Crafting Bench, surround a chest with Copper Ingots, which will require eight Ingots.

Copper Golems will search any nearby Copper Chest, and you can create a double chest out of Copper, as well.
