Minecraft's Copper Update: New Features and the Return of a Fan-Favorite Mob
2025-07-02 08:23:41Minecraft is set to introduce a series of thrilling updates centered around Copper, a material that has often been overlooked in the game. This upcoming update will not only enhance Copper's utility but also bring back a mob that fans have been eagerly awaiting since it lost the mob vote years ago.
The teaser for this update came in the form of a cryptic screenshot featuring the letters 'CU' and a pop-up message about Steve being teleported to coordinates linked to real-world copper's atomic properties. Fans quickly deciphered the clues, confirming that a Copper-themed update was on the horizon.
The update will introduce a new tier of Copper weapons, tools, and armor, positioned between Stone and Iron in terms of strength. While these items offer higher durability and faster mining speeds than Stone tools, they come with limitations—such as the inability to mine higher-tier materials—to maintain game balance.
One of the most exciting additions is the Copper Golem, a small but highly functional mob. When crafted, the Copper Golem comes with a Copper Chest. The Golem will automatically organize items from the Copper Chest into other nearby chests, grouping similar items together. This feature is a game-changer for players who struggle with inventory management.
