21w11a: Lack of Iron ores (and temporary solution?)

The most recent snapshots have shown one problem among the great features, lack of Iron, some people already pointed out how that can greatly discourage exploring the new caves, due to the lack of incentive caused by the lack of essential ores, especially Iron, which can greatly hinder down the update

So one idea that I have is to create Copper tools since in the snapshots this ore is shown to be extremely common, it can be either just re-skinned iron tools or a new set of tools that are less durable than Iron, ut it would for a little while fix the iron problem for enough time

I'm no programmer, but I think that this option might be easier to do, than having to find and fix the ore generation problem

    I agree, I tried survival in this snapshot and I hope this is just a mistake by the developers

    I think that the ore generation should be tweaked a bit rather than make new tools

    however I think that you should be able to use copper to make shears as well (not like a completely different "copper shears" but like another option than iron)
