Copper hit Minecraft back in 2021, but hasn’t really done a great job justifying its own existence. Now, Mojang has a new update in store that’ll finally give you a reason to use the material, including a whole new tier of tools and the long-awaited return of the copper golem.
In a new update currently available in beta preview on Bedrock – it will eventually hit Java, too – you’re able to craft copper pickaxes, swords, and much more. This is a full new equipment tier that’ll bridge the gap between stone and iron items, which should hopefully make the early-game grind just a bit less arduous.
“My personal relation to copper in-game is that I mine a bunch of it, forget that I can’t use it for tools, and then hold it in my inventory,” senior gameplay engineer Matthew Clohessey says in the announcement video. The intent here is to give the very abundant material a proper purpose so it’s not just clogging up your chests anymore.
