Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Copper Armor

This idea is the idea that copper armor should be added as a tier between iron and gold. It would have the ability to protect a player from lightning by acting as a faraday cage and conducting electricity to the ground if the player has a full set (Similar to how a car protects you from lightning). This would fit well with the lightning rod conducting electricity to the ground. Finally, it would add a unique reason to make copper armor which would give the ore a more practical use.

    You do realize that this armor would be equal strength to chainmail right? Also i think being stuck by lighting with this armor should give you some sort of temporary power, even though you would likely just die.

    I mean, sure. But the likely hood of a player getting struck by lightning is very small so I still think its rather useless.

    Maybe copper could be similar to Netherite, as in it adds onto an existing armour. It would be cool to see an armour tree instead of rank. Maybe copper could give the player some special abilities, like lightning resistance as mentioned. One idea I had before is if you had redstone in your offhand slot you could generate a stun effect when you hit an enemy. But that's just my idea.

    Getting struck by a lightning is more common with copper armor but i think they want to have a material that dosent have a tier. like emeralds

    If the world generation height is raised, maybe copper can be plentiful where iron is still scarce, making for a nice way to compliment the iron tier! Voted.

    I agree that copper is cool, but should have more long term uses in the game other than building, like iron does. Maybe all copper tools, blocks and armors, as they degrade, become greener?

    Copper and emerald armor don't seem vanilla to me no matter how cool they are. If they added bronze instead of copper I would agree that bronze should be added and should be the same as chainmail in stats and wouldn't have a toolset.

    I like the lightning idea. Maybe to encourage full sets, wearing a partial set will still attract lightning, but it won't route it directly to ground, causing the player to actually get struck.

    I don't think the lightning should be involved with the armor. It should just act like an ordinary ore.

    Maybe instead we should have the same stats as iron in protection, and tools, but they have incredibly low durability

    Copper is not that durable, so it was not used for armor and tools IRL. But bronze is used with copper and tin and it was used for armor and tools. If they add bronze yes, but no

    The armor should be weaker than iron maybe just as strong as stone or in between stone and leather cause your gonna find alot of it after all

    copper gets stronger when oxidized, so why shouldn't armor? Over time when copper armor and tools oxidize they will gain durability going from around gold level up to almost diamond.

    Could you make a new dimension out of all the blocks that are made from mining(1 amethyst block,1 netherite block,1 diamond block, 1iron block,1gold block,1smooth stone, 1 copper block,1 ancient debris,1gold ore,1iron ore) in the shape of a nether portal but lied down

    I feel this should be more like how youtuber SimplySarc put it in one of his videos. Having a energy system and charged armor. It would support the idea of building while also providing fun gameplay.

    Ok hear me out copper armor and tools are between iron and gold and has a higher probability of getting struck by lightning which gives you temporary power (like mmanbro090 said) because it is made with red stone and copper and as the armor breaks it turns green like the copper block. I think this would be a really good idea!

    As an extra feature, it could also age from the copper-brown color to the blue-green and maybe get weaker over time (durability runs out quicker). This could be the same for possible copper tools and can be prevented by waxing them.

    I feel like copper armor would make the likelihood of being struck by lightning higher and if u get struck by lightning you could have like a jolt effect where your speed gets considerably boosted because of the lightning. I love your idea

    copper is kinda useless right now so i think if they add this it will have some purpose

    You know nothing about electricity, but I agree, copper does need another use.

    Copper armor - authentically, it was made before the appearance of bronze. If more sources of electrical damage are added to the game, then your idea is good.

    This copper armor should replace chain, regardless of how triggered it would make the community.
