Copper tools should be faster to improve building in the early to mid game

A big obstacle in the early to midgame for starting projects and building things is that it’s a lot more efficient to grind for enchantments and diamonds than it is to start right away with what you have. It’s pretty discouraging, and adds a lot of overhead when dying or starting a world.

Copper tools would be the PERFECT place to help balance this out, if they helped speed up building without affecting the rest of progression.

They should be near fast as gold, if not a bit less, making them perfect for taking on projects early, but worse than diamond or iron when it comes to what ores you can mine, and how much durability they have and damage they deal. Just this small tweak would give copper its niche as well as honestly be a godsend for builders and survivalists.

    I've seen others suggest that Copper tools & armor should actually start out faster/stronger than gold & iron, but decay as they loose durability, and visually oxidize as well. But if that ends up being too complicated, then honestly, just improving the base mining speed of copper tools would be amazing

    I like this idea a lot because I feel like the game is at its best before you get diamond gear, but I always feel rushed before making my house to get good tools so that it won't take ages to gather everything. I want to enjoy the early game for longer without feeling like I'm shooting myself in the foot for doing so

    I wish they would be faster but would slow down when weathering and you could wax them
    And armor would lose points when weathering
