New craftings for the new items are needed

With the latest updates there has been the addition of many objects but they are ends in themselves.
Copper: a new mineral that most players do not even take because it only serves to build the telescope and perhaps the lightning rod (very few players use them)
could be used for example in more complex and advanced Redstone systems such as the improvement of pistons or a block that allows rotation on an axis.
amethyst: besides the fact that it would be nice to find it in a real dedicated biome like the lush quarries with mobs that use magic and spells, it is a useless material, also this is used practically only for the telescope and for the dark glass (which is useless)when, for example, it could be used for the construction of magical objects that would look good in a hypothetical combat update (never released) or for the construction of the much promised colored lights.
Armadillo scutes: This is literally a useless object only serves to make armor for dogs that are in turn useless because they do not protect them. The defense given by the armor should be strengthened given the defense of the armadillos and should serve for more things such as increasing the durability of tools or an upgrade of the shield and armor by making for example a plated version of each armor and shield.
These are just a few of the items that would need additions within their crafting.
