Copper Buttons

It's super simple, but as a builder, I love details. I use buttons, (especially stone and Blackstone ones) as rivets, studs, bolts, you name it. I (and many others) think copper needs more uses, and I think a button would be easy to implement. It'd help to contribute to the the steampunk vibe that's so popular in the Minecraft building community. The crafting recipe could be a single ingot. It wouldn't conflict with any other recipes, because (as of writing this) there are no copper nuggets.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk...

    I'd like to add maybe also trapdoors/pressure plates and maybe even actual doors(?) I think it'd be a great addition in terms of steampunk aesthetic and building and maybe they could be activated differently from iron stuff (maybe with an item in your hand or something almost like a key, idk). and ofc they should oxidate

    It's clear they're going with a decorational/gadget route with copper, so a copper button makes sense. They could also add copper doors, trapdoor and pressure plates, which would oxidize in the same way as copper blocks, stairs and slabs.

    They could work in a similar way as iron. If you want a door that can only be activated with redstone, you'd have 2 options: iron and copper.

    Copper nuggets should be obtained from a copper ingot. To create a button, you can use copper nuggets, or a copper ingot + redstone dust.

    I think copper buttons would be awesome. Maybe they could have a really short time to pop back out (shortening the time the signal is output) but that time could become longer when the copper becomes rusted. I think a unique button like this would be great, and a more functional button made out of a less common resource would be really cool too, especially considering how much copper stuff is being added in 1.21, making it a notable resource like the rest of the ores
