Copper Powered Rails

I think, with the addition of copper, it would make more sense for powered rails to be crafted with copper as opposed to gold.  This is different than other similar suggestions as I am not suggesting an entirely knew block, but a change to an existing block.  I understand it may be frowned upon to change something that has been in the game for so long, but this change would give copper more of a practical use and make powered rails a bit more accessible.  Gold is already used in many recipes, has its own armor and toolset, and can be used to barter with piglins, so I do not feel removing this use of gold would minimize its importance.  It would, however, vastly increase copper's importance.

  Oh my gosh, yes! And it makes a lot of sense, what with copper being incredibly conductive in real life.

  Or you could make the powered rails craftable from either gold or copper.

  100% agree especially with how common and typically useless copper is.

  100 percent agree copper is incredibly lacking in uses right now and the recipe change will not only make rails cheaper and more accessible but also give copper a much needed use

  Instead of being a replacement or just a stand in for gold ingots if you need to craft a powered rail, why not give it a different function? Copper rails could make Minecarts turn quickly, you put them near the edge of a turn or at turns to keep your momentum or speed up even more which means you have to use them in conjunction with gold powered rails to reach max speed (or increase the max speed to at least compete with the Elytra and Horses).
