copper tools and iron tools should be stronger

i think copper beeing betwen stone and iron tier is very little room for it to be worth durability wise, stone is 131 and iron is 250, so maybe it shold be the same as iron, and iron could have it's durability increased to be betwen current iron and diamond, it could be something like 500, but on the other aspects i think copper is good.

  I full agree.... the Durability difference between Stone, Copper, and Iron being less than One Stack seems very inefficent, and the fact Diamond has 1561, versus Iron having only 250 in spite of it's increased rarity following Caves and Cliffs, I think made little sense... and should have been increased after the generation was changed.

  especially since Copper largely took it's place, but it's weaker durability, along with the fact it can't mine Gold or Redstone while Iron can, also seem to diss the entire purpose of being able to increase Copper usage as a material versus jumping straight from Stone to Iron, because if mining with Copper brings no benefit besides lasting a few extra blocks before replacing... hardly anyone will have an interest in using it.

  I just watched IBXToycat's video on it, and while copper tools are excellent, there's a gameplay change that'd be PHENOMENAL to see.
  
  Yes, increasing the durability of iron to 500 would be great, enchanting would be SO much more worth and even that would be enough
  
  But copper tools should be able to mine everything iron tools can, except diamonds (and maybe emeralds).
  Having copper stuff be good but still requiring iron for progression, and iron is still worth it to have in progression, would make it so much smoother gameplay wise.
