New ore - Copper

Suggestions SkyWars

Idea:
Add copper ore to SkyWars and move all non-consumable drops from Gold Ore into this new one.

More Information:
Right now Gold Ore is overloaded. When fighting cheaters, my main strategy is using snowballs, cobwebs, boom boxes. To get them, I farm Gold Ore. But around 50% of Gold drops are random armor or weapons, which makes it unreliable for getting the knockback items you actually need.
Also, when you spawn with bad armor, you’re forced to rely on Gold and hope it gives armor quickly - which is very unconsistent.

Proposed Change:
Introduce Copper Ore (or Coal if preferred).

• Move all armor + swords/tools from Gold Ore → Copper Ore.

• Gold Ore stays as the “lucky ore”, but only with consumables (snowballs, cobwebs, boom boxes, firecharges, golden apples).

• Because a new common ore is added, Gold automatically becomes rarer meaning it wouldn’t be easier to get the consumables.

• Players who urgently need armor can mine Copper directly instead of gambling on Gold.

This would make Gold more consistent, make early armor more reliable, and reduce frustration when fighting cheaters or unlucky spawns.
Let me know what you think and what could be adjusted about my idea!

Is that the only unused ore (apart from ancient debris tho)? Thatd be cool and make the game more balanced

There’s also coal

Most texture packs don’t recognise copper

You could make your own texture for copper if thats too much of an issue.

That’s only if you play on PC, but atleast copper is easier to spot

How would a texture pack help? Also it also works on tablets and other mobile devices
