Copper should be made more useful

Copper is practically useless, sorry to say. Other than decoration and lightning rods, there is no incentive to go and mine blocks of copper when you see them. I have a solution to this, Copper tools, armor and the like. people in Ancient Mesopotamia in 4500 BC used copper armor and tools. if copper axes, pickaxes, tools, shovels, hoes and armor. for the tools, it should be categorized between leather and chainmail, or chainmail and iron. I think in order to make copper something people want to pick up and use, it should be given uses, there are modders that have made mods like this already, so why not add it into the game officially?
