<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Make Copper Golems interact with Copper Buttons, like originally intended, and boost your builds with new decorative blocks!<\/p>\n
————————-<\/p>\n
### \ud83e\udd16 Features<\/p>\n
### COPPER FIRE AND CAMPFIRE<\/p>\n
What happens if you mix Copper and Fire? You get Copper Fire!<\/p>\n
This new Green Flame can be obtained if a Copper Block is set on fire.<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_fire.png\")
<\/p>\n
Emits a light level of 13 and deals 1.5x fire damage<\/p>\n
And, since there is Copper Fire, there’s now also the Copper Campfire!<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_campfire.png\")
<\/p>\n
Crafted like a Soul Campfire, but using any Block that can produce Copper Fire in the middle.<\/p>\n
Deals the same amount of damage as regular Campfire and drops a Copper Nugget if broken without Silk Touch.
\nCan be waterlogged<\/p>\n
### COPPER HORN AND NEW GOAT HORN SOUNDS<\/p>\n
Copper Horn was a scrapped feature from the Caves & Cliffs update, but now is back!<\/p>\n
Crafted by surrounding a Goat Horn with 3 Copper Ingots, will return a different Copper Horn based on the Goat Horn used.<\/p>\n
They’ll produce a different sound based on how they are played:
\n– A high-pitched sound if the player is looking straight up
\n– A bass sound if the player is sneaking
\n– The regular sound otherwise<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_horn.png\")
<\/p>\n
Also, two scrapped Goat Horn sounds has been added, that can also be turned into Copper Horns.<\/p>\n
– Fly: dropped from regular Goats
\n– Resist: dropped from screaming Goats<\/p>\n
### COPPER RAILS<\/p>\n
Move your Minecarts at different speeds with the new Copper Rails<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_rails.png\")
<\/p>\n
The Copper Rails act as powered rails but doesn’t require any redstone input. To counterbalance this, they accelerate
\nMinecarts less than a powered rail, with the acceleration decreasing with the oxidation level.<\/p>\n
Crafted like Powered Rails but with Copper Ingots instead of Gold Ingots<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_rails_crafting.png\")
<\/p>\n
### COPPER BUTTONS<\/p>\n
Originally, Copper Golem was designed to interact with Copper Buttons.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, these have not been added with the Copper Age Drop…. until now!<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_buttons.png\")
<\/p>\n
Craft them using any Copper Block in a Stonecutter and use them in your builds.<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_button_crafting.png\")
<\/p>\n
They are also a unique redstone component, because they’ll stay pressed the longer they’re oxidized. <\/p>\n
When non-oxidized, they’ll act like Stone buttons and stay pressed for 20 ticks, with each oxidation level increasing
\nthe duration by 10 ticks.<\/p>\n
If they are pressed while oxidizing, waxing or scraping, their press state will be reset.<\/p>\n
Plus, if a Copper Golem stops on them, there’s a chance that they’ll press the button!<\/p>\n
### MEDIUM WEIGHTED PRESSURE PLATES<\/p>\n
Crafted with 2 copper ingots, these new Weighted Pressure Plates acts as a middle ground between the Light and the
\nHeavy Weighted ones.<\/p>\n
![\"Medium](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/medium_weighted_pressure_plate_crafting.png\")
<\/p>\n
They oxidize over time and can be waxed, like any other Copper Block, and behave exactly like a Weighted Pressure Plate
\nwould do (except that you’ll need fewer items to reach power level 15).<\/p>\n
![\"Medium](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/medium_weighted_pressure_plates.png\")
<\/p>\n
Like copper buttons, these will stay pressed longer based on their oxidation level (starting at 20 ticks,
\nlike regular pressure plates, going up to 50).<\/p>\n
Also like copper buttons, if they are pressed while oxidizing, waxing or scraping, their power level will be reset.<\/p>\n
### WRENCH<\/p>\n
Using 2 Iron Ingots and 2 Copper Ingots you can craft a new tool: the Wrench!<\/p>\n
![\"Wrench](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/wrench_crafting.png\")
<\/p>\n
With the wrench you can now rotate any Block that can be rotated without the need to break and place them again.<\/p>\n
Left-click the Block with the Wrench to cycle the different orientations (if you are also sneaking, property will be cycled in the reversed order)<\/p>\n
![\"Player](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/wrench.gif\")
<\/p>\n
It can also toggle visibility on Item Frames and Glow Item Frames and arms on Armor Stand (only if they’re empty).<\/p>\n
It has 512 uses.<\/p>\n
### IRON AND GOLD DECORATIVE BLOCKS<\/p>\n
This new drop adds a ton of decorative blocks for Copper. So, why not give Iron and Gold the same treatment?<\/p>\n
New Decorative Blocks for Iron and Gold has been added, putting them in parity with Copper!<\/p>\n
Here’s what’s new:
\n– Cut Iron
\n – Crafted with 4 Iron Blocks or with an Iron Block through the Stonecutter
\n – Can be turned into Cut Iron Slabs and Stairs

![\"Iron](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/iron_decorative_blocks.png\")
\n![\"Gold](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/gold_decorative_blocks.png\")
<\/p>\n
### BETTER SHELVES<\/p>\n
The Shelf is a great Block for building and decorations, and it has two modes of displaying Items.
\nBut only one is accessible in Vanilla Minecraft, which is a shame to be honest…<\/p>\n
That’s why, if you now Shift-Right Click a shelf with an empty hand, it will toggle its display mode!<\/p>\n
![\"Shelf](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/shelf_display_mode_toggle.gif\")
<\/p>\n
### BETTER COPPER GOLEMS<\/p>\n
Can’t wait to have your Copper Golem statue? No problem! You can now craft them using a carved pumpkin and a Copper Block.<\/p>\n
![\"Craftable](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/craftable_copper_golem_statue.png\")
<\/p>\n
They’ll also now deposit Items in Barrels and Shulker Boxes as well<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_golem_opening_shulker_box.png\")
<\/p>\n
The list of containers that the Copper Golem can deposit Items to is controlled by a new Block tag,
\n`bettercopperage:copper_golem_output_containers`. You can find the list of supported containers here<\/p>\n
Iron Golems will sometimes place a Poppy on top of a Copper Golem.<\/p>\n
But what if you don’t want to wait for this event? Or, even better, you want to put
\nother type of items on it?<\/p>\n
Well, now you can! You can now put a broader variety of Items and Blocks on top of a Copper Golem
\nby simply right-click.<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_golem_wearing_heavy_core.png\")
<\/p>\n
The list is controlled by the `minecraft:shearable_from_copper_golem` tag, which has been expanded
\nto include all the Blocks and Items that you can now put on a Copper Golem.<\/p>\n
This also means that, using a pair of Shears, you can take the Item back from the Copper Golem.<\/p>\n
You can find the full list here<\/p>\n
### COPPER ATTRACTS LIGHTNINGS<\/p>\n
If there’s a storm, you better not going out with some Copper Armor or let your Copper Golem outside, because
\nnow a Lightning can strike any Player\/Horse wearing some Copper Armor or any Copper Golem, if there are no
\nLightning Rods nearby.<\/p>\n
![\"Lightning](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/lightning_striking_copper_golem.png\")
<\/p>\n
These mechanics can be controlled using two new Game Rules:
\n– `bettercopperage:copperGolemAttractsLightning`
\n – When enabled, Copper Golems might be struck by a Lightning during a Thunderstorm, if there’s no Lightning Rod nearby
\n – Default `true`
\n– `bettercopperage:copperArmorAttractsLightning`
\n – When enabled, any entity that is wearing a piece of Copper Armor might be struck by a Lightning during a Thunderstorm, if there’s no Lightning Rod nearby
\n – Default `true`<\/p>\n
### COPPER GOLEMS IN STRUCTURES<\/p>\n
Fully oxidized Copper Golems can now generate in Trail Ruins or Trial Chambers<\/p>\n
![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_golem_in_trail_ruins.png\")
\n![\"Copper](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/copper_golem_in_trial_chambers.png\")
<\/p>\n
### MANNEQUIN SPAWN EGG<\/p>\n
A Spawn Egg for the Mannequin has been added to the Operator Tab in the Creative Inventory<\/p>\n
![\"Mannequin](\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/JimiIT92\/BetterCopperAge\/refs\/heads\/master\/.docs\/mannequin_spawn_egg.png\")
<\/p>\n
This way you can summon a basic mannequin very quickly without using commands!<\/p>\n
### NEW ADVANCEMENTS<\/p>\n
Two new advancements has been added to further enhance this drop experience:
\n– Lightning Life
\n – Summon a Copper Golem
\n– Heavy Metal
\n – Use a Copper Horn<\/p>\n
Both advancements can be found in the Adventure category, under the Surge Protector advancement<\/p>\n
