More Useful Copper Items And Blocks

I feel that if we had things like copper shields, copper hoppers, and copper buckets, it would be a bit easier for newer/beginner players to progress in their world. For example for the bucket, so that there is less to add, the recipe could be the normal bucket recipe but with copper, but add honeycombs or bottles of honey in the bottom corners. As for the shield and hopper, It would be the same concepts, original shield and hopper recipes but with copper, and honeycombs or bottles of honey in the bottom corners.
