What're your opinions on Copper? What're your thoughts on how The Blockheads handled Copper, compared to Minecraft? Let me know in the comments! "If all goes well, I could publish this video by 25th of May!" - famous last words

[@RevRelod]

I feel like copper can be used in things such as an early villager trade. Something that i think would be cool would be a new type of villager that you can sell things like copper, iron, coal, etc. for special redstone componets that include copper and are only obtainably through that villager

[@mauricio3624]

Absolutely. I can't understand why companies make such shit decisions, like the upcoming useless gun ban from the game. Did they not even think about the industrial impact of copper in the world and take it as a reference to make it work like redstone? It isn't hard to notice what copper is actually useful for, you are a multi millionary company goddamnit.

[@nathanfielding8587]

And 1 of the many big problems with redstone is that it requires so much iron that you basically need an iron farm. So, 1 thing you can do is make the redstone components crafted with copper instead.

You should be able to combine copper and redstone to make a redstone compatible wire that’s can carry signal for twice the length and a repeater with copper than can have no delay

[@strangeluck3822]

It should go vertical and waterproof too

[@magicmeowkinz8939]

I don't think I like this direct upgrade. What happens to redstone? Its still used in recipes, but not really as a block anymore. What if they could go through blocks, but kept the power level, needing to be replenised by regular repeaters? Itd be too op if it traveled instantly, and hiding Redstone completely is also alot. But to make up for all that, copper wires could turn in any direction, up down north south east west, AND, they could make it so you can deconnect unneeded wires, like two of them standing side by side! Or a cross section!

[@user-hi4ot9ld2e]

I think It would need a transformer that takes 5 redstone ticks to activate, but afterwards it can pass trought the copper wire without distance limit, but being unable to power normal redstone components, so that it will need another transformer to be usefull. Or it could be used to upgrade redstone components to have no delay and they to need to be powered by copper wires, not direct redstone, making it a late game improvement. The transformers should be hard to get, like needing ender cristals or something late game to craft

[@SlavaArduino123]

Now add it as a mod/datapack and make 1.20.1

[@Im_Vesper]

Then what use would Redstone have? You've literally just made a direct upgrade and thus made it useless

[@LeGnocchi]

Don't forget that they even add COPPER VEINS with lots and lots of copper! So it's easy to get A HUGE STOCK of copper but it's useless

[@LilyTheMentallyInsane]

yea thats bc its expensive to make a bunch of copper blocks for a build and you also cant autofarm it

[@judahforshey1865]

Copper should be used to water proof redstone lines. Combine copper and redstone to get wiring which is like redstone but water proof, and can go straight up.

[@dkal7112]

Straight up is eh whatever. But straight down is a game changer

[@Not_Your_Friend_]

Copper was only added for the building block, other uses came up just so it wouldn't look SO BAD

[@The_hot_blue_fire_guy]

And that is the main problem. I don’t mind new building blocks but if you are going to add an entire new ore to the game then maybe you should make it at least somewhat useful outside of building!? Not everyone plays Minecraft to build structures. Many people play it to explore the world for adventure or they play because they like to solve problems and come up with solutions for those problems, (like making redstone contraptions that can automate or simplify aspects of the game) As it is right now copper is pretty much useless to anyone not interested in building and designing. There is no point to this resource for adventure, or puzzle solving players! And that is why copper needs to get at least some other use besides building material. Because otherwise it’s literally a waste of an ore type! I mean even ores like nether quartz are useful in some redstone recipes but copper doesn’t even have that going for it! Lapis is almost pointless but at least you need to use it for enchanting! Every ore type has at least some purpose that isn’t just “existing” every ore except copper that is.

[@5001Fergies]

Im almost certain they only added it for modpacks, because before now every mod in a pack would have to make their own copper, leading to packs like tekkit and ftb having 6 different copper ores that arent compatible with each other

[@The_hot_blue_fire_guy]

@@5001Fergies why would they suddenly care about mods? mojang has never been anti mod but they haven’t exactly embraced mods either. We still don’t have a moding API even though they said like a couple years ago that they would add one. And then they claimed that APIs like forge and fabric were good enough so they didn’t need to add a official one! Plus copper is also in bedrock and mods don’t work on bedrock! And we all know that mojang doesn’t really care about Java and only keeps it around because if they shut Java down they would never live it down and the backlash would be greater than chat reporting and 1.9 combat combined!

I recall Mojang saying that they didnt want copper to disturb the balance of progression by making copper useful. Of course this relates to copper armor and tools, but I think that this is just a coverup of the -fact- theory that Mojang, just doesn't want to. Which "don't want to" makes a lot more sense in relation to other features.

[@XayXayYT]

I could understand not wanting to disturb progression yeah, but that would open opportunities for it to be used similar to quartz and redstone, where they're useful in a niche way, rather than useless entirely like it is now

[@arysword]

@@XayXayYT i'd say the problem there would be maintaining the lore and feel of the game. considering the thematic time period of minecraft and the potential lore that might be limiting it, its a little bit easier to understand why its hard to think of simple features to add that both include copper and add something special to the gameplay.

[@mosshivenetwork117]

But the progression should be disturbed. It's been the same repetitive ores or the same decade. Mods make progression way more interesting.

[@arysword]

@@mosshivenetwork117 thats why there are mods and why modding is supported and encouraged to a certain extent. remember, that minecraft is the single best selling game ever. imagine being at a meeting and suggesting the idea of changing the progression. How prepaired would you have to be. You can probably imagine the amout of work and reaserch you would have to do to justify something. If the reasons and research just doesn't convince enough people then the idea isn't bad, its just not good enough. Its not good enough to justify altering the core gameplay experience of the game whos gameplay will be remembered by the next generation. Its just hard to justify things when you really think about being in a meeting with gameplay designers, artists, managers, developers, animators, storyboardists, and writers and give your presentation expecting the majority of them to be convinced. thats honestly why the stuff in the recent updates really just adds new niche features or makes the game more interconnected. improving existing features like the nether rather than adding new dimensions. it all comes down to keeping minecraft ... well minecraft and making it better. does adding new stuff for the sake of satisfying players who could use mods make sense. as a side note, we dont know whats in jeb's minecraft dev guide book. we also dont know the lore for certain. any new additions must keep continuity with extablished lore or you probably have to talk to higher management and a few writers. Those 2 base requirements really limit legitimate suggestions in ways that cannot be foreseen.

[@sheldonakintoye5480]

That isn't true at all. The main reason why copper was added to the game was so it could be a building material similarly to nether quartz, alongside its aging mechanic that they were primarily talking about when showcasing it. Coppers' problem is that it's the main use case for it doesn't appeal to many play styles currently, so if you're not much of a builder, you currently only have 3 other uses, with one of those uses also being building related.

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

I think some sort of bulk-use recipes in particular would be best for a resource as abundant as copper. I've thought for a while that having a proper pipe block would lower the iron costs (and hopefully lag) from long hopper chains that ultimately don't make a ton of sense conceptually (why would you need a ton of funnels when there's only like 1 input area for items?). Additionally, I think having at least one but preferably several copper based redstone components would give it a happy home with one of the largest communities this game has. It's important for people to think about new resources not in the simplest of RPG-progression terms, but utilizing the broad creative space that minecraft has to offer that makes redstone more powerful than netherite and iron stronger than diamonds: what you can do with the things made from redstone and iron are far more deadly and earthshaping than having a little extra armor or DPS.

[@TheGreatOwlMaster]

I actually have quite a few ideas that could make it way more useful: - Pipes to transport items more efficiently than hoppers (like in quark oddities) - Wires that act as redstone dust that can go vertically or underwater. They have no length limit. Alternatively, lightning rods could be used for this - Rails that make minecarts go faster and make them preserve velocity, even after leaving the track. This would allow for jumping across ravines using a ramp, for example. We also need a way to make copper oxidize faster for building purposes. It's painfully slow right now and even though I personally use a data pack that adds recipes for oxidized copper, it would be nice for all players to have access to a really good looking block. They could either make it simply oxidize faster or give thick/mundane potions a use by making it so that throwing a splash potion of that type on it makes it immediately oxidize. It would save builders a lot of time

[@Ransok_Bukaj]

As someone who plays basically only modded Minecraft, copper is extremely useful for me (e.g. every technology based mod ever)

[@shadekage3432]

I think the devs are scared to give copper a use in minecraft, as it currently mines into a lot of ores without any enchants, and especially with forture, so if its given a cheap use, youll end up having a lot left over

One thing you forgot to mention about minecraft copper is that in 1.20, copper gets a fee more uses, you can use it to trim armor, ahould anyone want to use it, and it's essential for archeology, due to you needing it in the recipe for the brush, in order to excavate items out of suspicious gravel and sand from desert temples, desert wells, ocean ruins, and ruined trails. Other than that, blockheads still has the high ground when it comes to minecraft in the copper game, cause with the 1.20 features, minecraft has 5 uses for copper, while blockheads has 100+ uses for it, lol.

Allow coppers for beacon pyramids (makes beacons more accessible for players without taking away the rewarding feeling of making one) 2. Copper plated redstone: Can be embedded in blocks, doesn't lose signal strength, can go vertically. + some copper/iron junction components for tighter redstone. It upgrades redstone without affecting old redstone mechanics or making them completely obsolete.

@@basic6735 I disagree. Redstone is not in anyway integral to the progression system. It's not like getting diamonds before iron. Redstone is a side system that exists mainly for convenience. If they wanted, they could make a later game crafting station that's used for making copper-plated redstone, but that's completely arbitrary and unnecessary. The reason copper-plated redstone would be balanced is because it's more expensive but works better, not because it's hard to obtain.

Aluminium: The new bauxite rock when mined drops alumina which should be smelted twice to get aluminium ingot , basically like iron but lighter thus making you fast , you can replace iron with aluminium in every crafting recipe iron has.

Copper Pipes! Add new types of pipes that essentially work as cheaper hoppers. Less storage space within the pipe, but there could be different pipes with different uses. Different pipes that can transport items, filter them, and send them upward with very minimal redstone efforts. Allowing early game and less experienced players to access the joys of item organization. Of course hoppers will still be useful in taking the items out of storage and placing them back into storage, pipes would just work essentially as a bridge between hoppers.

[@polishscribe674]

I always have a list I put under videos like this with my ideas, here it is: 1. Give copper the same variants you can get from iron and gold. Weight pressure plates, bars, cauldrons, etc. 2. Integrate it with redstone. People talk about it's conductive ability, but we already have that, maybe pipes so you don't need to use so many hoppers in transport? 3. Tools for the sake of machinimas and role-playing. They could be on the level of stone, just retextured. 4. This one may go too far: fooling piglins. Wearing copper armor would reduce the range at which they attack you, and dropping a bar would distract them from chasing you (but they wouldn't give items for copper)

[@ceviche4life951]

The Create mod does a great job of giving copper a use as the “fluid” resource, used for diving gear, tanks, pipes, etc. I do think new copper recipes need to have electric properties tho, it’s easy and untapped potential

[@CodeModCreator]

Great video! I have been working on a mod so I might as well upgrade copper! Note: Terraria came out before Minecraft and Terraria is its own game, not a 2d version of minecraft. I am not being rude or anything. I just wanted to let you know. Have a good day and I love the content! I will sub on all my accounts.

[@Luibo111]

can you make a video about how copper got fixed with the create mod

[@XayXayYT]

I haven't played the create mod because I'm afraid it may be too complicated for me lol, but I would make a video on it when the day comes!

[@Luibo111]

@@XayXayYT it looks pretty complicated and trust me it really can be but i would say you should give it a try. And with the help of sone tutorials im sure you will figure it out

[@xdgamer8496]

Some ways to improve copper: 1) Mixing gold and copper would make a gold alloy which is stronger than regular gold (and iron) but weaker than diamond. And these can be used to craft golden tools and armor instead of the regular useless golden tools. 2) As others said, integrating it with redstone could also fix the issue. And maybe copper for vertical signals would be nice too.

[@Nada-nonexistent]

5:32, Btw I think copper is only useful in the extreme late game. When you have the best armour, the best weapon, the best enchants, farms of everything, and had every achievement. You know when you are done with everything that you just start building stuff, Also in my mind I see copper as an overworld quartz. Because it’s strictly a decoration block and nothing much else There is a few recipe like the lighting rod or the spy glass. The same applies to quartz: sun light detectors and observers, etc. You get my point,

[@GrCrtrOficial]

Now in 1.20 copper is used to make the archeology brush (+ 1 use)

Amethyst needs more recipes too, like they're a (somewhat) rare underground resource that people have been asking for for forever, and it finally gets added and it crafts... spyglasses and tinted glass... hooray... (Also what the heck I typed the word "for" three times in a row)

I just want them to let us make copper wires using copper + redstone. Wires could be so cool for decor and they could use it as a way to let you place working redstone underwater.

Copper was in this game … for like, 6+ years. This was before Minecraft 1.12 even released.

[@LeonHugh-Jones-mw1gi]

I think they should make copper wires with a red stone signal that can only affect certain blocks, like how honey and slime are different but similar

[@BRNardy]

I wish we could have some balancing features in the copper tools if they ever get added to Minecraft. For example: while also being an in-between from stone to iron, a copper pickaxe could also mine the ores that a stone pickaxe can't, such as redstone, gold, emerald, etc, but NOT diamond. You'd still need the iron pickaxe to get diamonds.

[@sarthakarora4446]

I guess it could be used as tools trims like in 1.20 update the game is going to release armour trims so it would be best to use copper for tools trims with in addition that it could make them stronger, more durable and efficient

[@one_for_one]

They either need to give it more redstone support, or go tinkers construct direction and introduce alloy smelting and more diverse tool crafting

[@Bloonsmonki]

I remember when you were a KZbinr with 1k. You only had a few vids and you only had a couple of views. Now you’re a KZbinr with 30k and you actually have some popularity. It’s nice to see how you’ve grown so much in 1 year.

Copper ISN'T ugly. It can oxidize, which makes it _blue._ ;3

Just make copper wiring a new version of redstone dust, the 2 could run alongside eachother, like slime and honey blocks, without activating eachother. Just like that, copper could have a Decent use.

[@metafox6942]

considering that metals are often considered as a way to get rid of monsters in myth and fantasy i think they could figure something out

[@watercrystals9744]

If only there were trees that provided resin, which you could then heat to create rubber, and then using that rubber you could could create copper cables to provide an electrical current, which could be used to add electricity into a portable storage container like a battery or something, and then that battery could be used to provide power to machines that could do new things with existing resources... Not like that anything like that ever came out a decade ago or anything though, haha...

[@samexahr3326]

Copper can be a good building materials when you know how to use it, weirdly enough the mid weather stages are the best. Poles are nice with the lightning rod. The spyglass... is a thing. It has potential with building, possibly similar blocks to iron like doors and bars, I guess keeping in mind the more flexible nature of the material. It certainly needs uses in redstone, possibly even mechanics which can be used before finding redstone.

[@historicdude7996]

Unless you are goodtimeswithscar you don't need excessive amounts of copper.

[@Gabriel-lh7gy]

Mojang could have made copper cases for parallel and underwater redstone and make the most game changing item in the game, give the same treatment as iron for a better building experience with a cool "the more oxidized the bigger is the delay", they could have made rose gold for a early game introduction for the upgrading system The only thing worst than copper is amethyst, having a renewable region bounded resources means nothing if the resources is useless

[@nahnot6247]

I did not expect to see a Blockheads video today

[@harold963]

If they buff mobs a bit and have copper and tin added, we could have early game tools and armor (also make iron spawn at deeper levels, and have more mobs spawn the deeper you go, to an extreme degree). Also, have copper wire that is redstone but can be used underwater. Also, have a new furnace type thaf is powered using lava and smeltd stuff 3x as fast as the blast furnace. And have actual trains! Maybe power too?

[@chickensky1121]

Why is lapis used as an example of a useless resource? I mean obviously it's easy to get an excess of it, but it's still useful for enchanting if you don't have access to villagers. But yeah I agree, copper being included in Minecraft at all is weird. I would love to use it as a substitute for iron in iron-heavy recipes (like minecarts, hoppers, maybe anvils, etc.). I have stacks of copper that I smelted for the novelty and I'd love to use it on those things.

[@XayXayYT]

I just thought it'd be funny to pick on lapis as a resource since it was pretty bad until the enchanting changes, and then it later gets screwed over by villagers.

[@metafox6942]

He’s onto something there. Lapis’ only purpose is enchanting, and it has a single block. How about instead of copper we fix lapis? Considering that everything now has to have an excess of features it’s only fair this applies to lapis

[@chickensky1121]

@@basic6735 I mean mostly from the perspective of demand. If we're talking about the variety of ways it can be used, then yeah I guess Lapis could do with a few more. I'd like something that keeps the theme of Lapis being the enchanting material - perhaps upgraded versions of existing blocks? Or maybe some kind of EXP detector or farmer.

[@basic6735]

@@chickensky1121 An exp detector sounds interesting, perhaps once a certain (maybe even adjustable) threshold of exp is detected it sends out a redstone signal. And maybe to go along with that some kind of exp capacitor, which can store exp and release it all at once, that way people can fill up a couple exp capacitors that when activated by a exp detector will just dump its contents. An application of this could be someone who doesn’t want to wait around all day fixing his mending tools at a farm, so he gets as much exp into his capacitors as possible and only needs to return every now and then and only for a few seconds to repair his tools, lag could be an issue though

[@ovathehedgehogandava1840]

Nice vid! I have ideas on how we can implement Copper that doesn’t change the game but can really make it shine Like comments said, make it have a substitute on red stone. Make reinforced tools (like Bows & Tridents.) Or just plainly add Bronze and make it better then iron, but not as great as Diamond. I should know since I played Blockheads longgg before I got back into Minecraft. (Also they were gonna add Goat horns reinforced with copper for whatever reason but it was canceled)
