Copper Armor & Tools with an unique mechanic

I've seen other posts about adding Copper Tools and Armor to the game, but none really had an interesting reason to add another mid-tier gear in the game.

 

That's why I've come up with an idea: when making copper gear, it starts in its standard form (unoxidized/orange) and it will be in between Stone and Iron gear as strength, but as time passes and you have it equipped (for it to oxidize you'll need copper armor in armor slot and tools in the hotbar) it will oxidize and become stronger; my idea was for it to have a total of 3 phases:

- Unoxidized: Stronger than Stone but weaker than Iron.

- Half Oxidized: Same strength as Iron (can also be 2 phases like the actual blocks, one being slightly weaker than iron, the other slightly stronger).

- Fully Oxidized: Stronger than Iron but Weaker than Diamond.

 

The oxidation process, as mentioned above, will require the gear to be equipped/used, and it will become stronger doing so. This mechanic will benefit gameplay in many aspects:

1- If the player doesn't have Iron, Copper gear will still be a better alternative than Stone gear and tools.

2- If the player does have Iron gear, Copper gear will still be a good idea to craft since with time it will become stronger than Iron.

3- The oxidation process requires the player to equip/use the gear and thus to consume the durability, forcing the player to start using the anvil before enchanting tools to repair said gear and prevent losing the Oxidation upgrades.

Thanks for reading!

  me gusta la idea pero esa mecánica única del cobre no me gusto del todo pero no lo tomes mal es que eso le quitaría mucho protagonismo al hierro porque el hierro es principal mente para armaduras y herramientas de resto solo sirve para no tan pocas cosas pero la gente casi no usa la mayoría de esas cosas por ejemplo las puertas y trampillas de hierro pero otra ves te digo no te lo tomes mal es una muy buena idea pero cambiaria mucho no en minecraf sino en sus jugadores porque todos empezarían a usar mucho mas el cobre que el hierro pero oooootra ves te digo no te lo tomes mal honestamente yo tambien quiero que haya armaduras y herramientas de cobre pero con otra función única que cual seria esa función......... em la verdad no lo se pero es una gran idea y espero que mojang te escuche así que buena suerte

  Awesome I Love it!! Also what the other guy said was: 

   

  I like the idea but I didn't like the unique mechanics of copper at all but don't take it wrong, it would take away a lot of prominence from iron because iron is mainly used for armor and other tools, it only serves not so few things but the People hardly use most of those things, for example iron doors and hatches, but again I tell you, don't take it badly, it's a very good idea, but it would change a lot not in minecraf but in its players because everyone would start to use the game much more. copper than iron but ooooother you see I tell you do not take it wrong honestly I also want there to be armor and copper tools but with another unique function that what that function would be ......... in truth I do not know but it's a great idea and i hope mojang hears you so good luck

  You say like it's a good option, but it's not, because we can find iron really quickly, and since copper at the begging is inferior to iron, we have to wait, but in the meanwhile, we already have diamonds, so copper armor remains useless
