Copper Overhaul for 1.22 – Vertical Wire, Insulated Cable & Arc System

Summary: Rework copper to solve vertical redstone, underwater wiring, add new mechanics. 1.Vertical Redstone Conduit-Craft:[Redstone,Copper,Redstone]x3→3 outs.Appearance:Copper pillar with redstone veins.Function:Signal only vertical(Y-axis).15-block range.Pushable. 2.Insulated Copper Wire-Craft:[Leatherx3]/[Copperx3]/[Leatherx3]→12 outs.Appearance:Flat block,leather-brown with copper ends.Function:30-block range(double).Waterproof.Cannot climb walls-needs Vertical Conduit for Y-changes. 3.Copper Repeater(Vertical-only)-Craft:[Copper,Redstone Torch,Copper]/[Redstone Torch,Dust,Redstone Torch]/[Copperx3].Appearance:Full copper block with redstone ports top/bottom.Function:Repeats only vertical signals.1-4 tick delay,resets to 15. 4.Lightning Rod Arc System-Trigger:Two rods face-to-face(≤6 apart),both powered ≥1s,line of sight.Effects:Red-orange arc+buzz;strength-15 signal(comparator-only);3 damage+knockback(0.5s cooldown);Creeper→Charged(100%);Iron Golem→slowed 40% for 3s;Player→"Conductive" 3s.Use cases:Traps,charged creeper farms,signal towers. Balance:All recipes use 2-6 copper ingots.No replacement of classic redstone-each wire has limits,encouraging mixed builds. Why it matters:Fixes underwater redstone & vertical routing,giving copper a real identity.

  I think this can make copper more valuable
