itrytobei'm really looking forward to Minecraft's "Copper Age" update. the main reason is copper tools and armour! it'll be wonderful for the early game. currently, since iron is scarce and iron tools don't last much longer than stone ones, it's generally not worth it to me to make them, and i go more or less straight from stone to diamond. but since copper is so much more plentiful, it'll be worth it to craft tools that are a bit better than stone but still cheap! i won't feel a need to rush up the tech tree so fast.
i think the aged variants of the lightning rod are a good addition too, they're great detailing blocks. and while i do think iron chains look better than any of the copper chain variants, i like the exposed copper chains enough that i'll be happy to use them as an affordable alternative to iron chains.
i almost forgot about the copper chests and copper automata/statues. i don't really care for them, i don't expect i'll ever use them.
