Replace Copper tools and armor with bronze and tin ore.

For me, copper tools and armor is a dull addition to the game. Even in real life, copper tools are weak when it comes to tools. Now I know that many things in Minecraft doesn't have to be similar to real life, but this one doesn't make sense in game too. We know that copper changes color overtime. But armors and tools, do they change color? Are they oxidized? Do the ingots have to be oxidized? Are they able to change color? Isn't it too tough to fix this by adding the tools in different oxidization states? Won't it make the game rubbish? Yep, that's why I think copper tools and armor should be replaced with an alloy named "Bronze". It's an alloy made from copper and tin. So, I want tin to be added as a new ore that is more common than iron and rarer than copper. In real life, bronze is made with 90% copper and 10% tin or maybe more or less. So, I think the crafting recipe for bronze ingot would be, 3 copper ingot and 1 tin ingot. What do you think about this idea? Let me know in comments.

    Copper gear shouldn't get replaced by bronze and tin but instead be also added and it should be better than iron to kinda fit the gap between iron and diamond. Tin should also be rarer than iron so bronze is balanced.

    Copper gear is pretty useful for early game cheap armor and for tools that are really similar to iron but way cheaper (they mine almost as fast as iron instead of having a mining speed between stone and iron). It's perfect for mining and building without spending a lot of iron since copper is so cheap.
