The Copper Age update will transform the copper metal into something more useful. The developers included copper tools and weapons that will help players in combat and exploration. These items will have a better durability than stone counterparts but will be inferior to the iron ones.
Apart from the chest and the copper golem, the developers are also adding copper bars, chains, and even a copper torch that has a green glow. All these items not only make copper more useful, but also increase the number of ways players can enhance their builds in Minecraft.
