Starting on September 30, Minecraft's least useful ore is getting some long-awaited new crafting recipes. The Copper Age game drop, which was announced back in August, finally got a full reveal and release date during Minecraft Live on Saturday.
This update will introduce a slew of new copper items to the game including weapons, tools, armor, horse armor, chests, lanterns, torches, chains, and bars. There will also be a new copper golem mob that autonomously organizes items you leave in copper chests into nearby regular chests. Like other copper items, the golems can oxidize and change color over time.
