A Minecraft mod that brings the complete Copper Age experience to older Minecraft versions.

### Fixed

  • Copper Armor Startup Crash**

  • Fabric Multiplayer Disconnect Crash**
  • Fixed a client crash when disconnecting from a multiplayer server on Fabric. Our minecraft: namespace entries are now registered the same way as any other modded entry instead of being hidden from Fabric's registry sync. (Fixes #43)

  • Dependencies**
  • Raised the minimum required Fabric Loader version to 0.16.12, matching Platform/VanillaBackport, to avoid dependency resolution failures in modpacks combining them.
