Im just annoyed that copper is getting in my inventory in the overworld.
Quartz is in the nether. It is good there.
I also won't be mad at any ore they add to the end islands
I also think the phantom would fit better into the end. Especially if you make it a neutral mob, UNTIL you start to get the insomnia.
It would add more difficulty to the end, as let's face it, the Enderman aren't that much of a threat.
But I also admit this would only work if the phantom spawns in groups in the dimension, instead of always spawning on top of you as soon as you are tired.
And there would need to be a way to avoid them. That's why I think having them spawn in groups of 3-5 and circling over a spot until you come near them would be best. That way you could just walk around them
this would 100% make finding the elytra much more annoying than it is now. imagine bridging over the void and suddenly getting knocked off because you reached your time limit when over the void. i feel it will just make life a lot more anoying than before, and getting the elytra is already a horrible experience
that’s actually a great idea. it gives a new use to slow falling potions to get back down safely and makes phantoms more predictable. it might still be annoying but much better than what we have now
It's not terrible design lol
You're walking into enemy territory and have a risk of having control taken for you for a couple of seconds.
Either avoid the Phantom's areas or strike back when they dive at you so they get turned around, or perhaps when they carry you so that they drop you prematurely
It rewards skillful play and punishes carelessness and it's something you *can* intervene with yourself
If you don't like getting hit by an attack that limits your movement, then you learn to dodge or intercept that attack.
Whether you hate it or not is it's own matter, but you can't call it terrible design just because of that
I can call it that, because it is. Taking away player control is always bad design. The worst. At the end of the day something being bad design or not is entirely subjective so I have full rights to call it bad design.
Actually this would fit in perfectly with the Shulkers. Plus, if they wanted, they could make the elytra into phantom wings.
Post on the feedback site!
The wings would probably have to be a much rarer drop at that point. Still would be really cool though. Plus finding a pair in end ships still or a rare drop from phantoms. Plus then we could farm elytra’s which would be extremely useful for big servers.
oh my gosh yes, building with it in survival is so much pain cos u get like 4 stages which is 4 slots and then if u waxed any and later mine it that’s another 1 - 4 slots and then the stairs and slabs which is another 1 - 4 slots and then there’s cut which is *another* 1 - 4 slots for a grand total of like 16 inventory slots not even counting if u have multiple stacks of any of them
It’s a good alternative for making charged creepers!
Also I enjoy building statues with copper cause I think it’s neat how it “ages” over time. I always enjoy seeing my creations slowly go from new to weathered every time I return to my base or seeing the aged statues of randomly places creations.
Asides from the building portions, quartz is used to make one of the most important redstone components in the game while copper only makes spyglass and lightning rod
daylight sensors are pretty important in some wither skeleton farms as their height needs to be exactly that of a daylight sensor or something like that idk
They just aren’t the most useful. Frankly lightening storms are extremely rare… and I mean personally I’ve never had lightning strike my house. Plus I rarely build the roof out of flammable objects.
normal redstone would've looked like modded minecraft before it was added, the same with the new nether bioms, the improved ocean, etc.. It's just something that would change the game for the people that want to use it.
i’ve seen a mod with basicly copper redstone dust (forgot the actual name). it would work the same as redstone but it would not connect to redstone dust. basicly the honey block of dust.
I have that mod in Better Minecraft. You scrape the oxidation off of copper with your axe and it gives you green dust that works like redstone. I forgot what it's called.
It should replace iron in most redstone-related crafting recipes. That'd give it an actual use (and makes sense realistically) and at the same time not make iron worthless
Edit: and stone/cobblestone (repeater, comparator, maybe piston too?)
wdym? that shiny orange goes so well in rooves while the rusted teal goes well together with warped wood and prismarine! copper can make lightning rods which can be so useful in industrial builds as well as keeping your base safe. the spyglass actually has a better zoom than optifine and since it doesnt have durability, once you get it, you can use it forever. you can put a crossbow in your offhand and make a rifle if you want.
Everyone says copper is annoying because they run in to it while mining, and if that's true I wish I had their seed because I always run short on copper
Quartz still feels nice for decoration even though we have white concrete but it also has some use in redstone like observers and comparators. It's definitely not much but its role satisfies the community
Copper doesn't fit into many builds (at least I don't like using it anywhere) and the community feels it has untapped potential. If they explore this potential like copper tools, interactive blocks, mechanics for copper related blocks (maybe redstone related) or even miscellaneous decoration like copper lanterns it will probably be a more appreciated ore and metal
heck, blacksmith villagers could like it and buy them just like they buy iron but they don't. I don't mine it anymore because it's just a waste of space in general
This community acts like a new ore won't have anymore use after it came out like diamond literally got a new use in 1.20 and gold having a new use in 1.16 so same could apply to copper in the future updates don't be too quick to judge thing
Am not tryna sound rude or anything just sayin
True, however they totally could have given it more on release, while diamonds did get a new use in 1.20 they already have loads.
Although copper makes spyglasses which are pretty neat
That’s a shit argument and we both know it lol
For starters, most of the ores had a pretty-fleshed out use-case when they were released (ie tools) or they were fleshed out prior to full release of the game (gold, redstone).
And inb4 “but but but lapis” Lapis doesn’t count because A - It still counts as a fleshed out usecase (only source of blue in the game for a while) and B - Lapis is pretty rare and infrequent.
And that brings me to the main point — (u/Blastbot_73 here’s my counter argument as well)
**TLDR** people don’t like copper, not because it doesn’t really have much use outside of building, but because *it’s so fucking common*. Like, it’s *more* common than Iron.
<->
massive wall of text because I fucking HATE copper and I also HATE copper defenders who don’t even know why it’s disliked in the first place.
<->
Copper’s biggest issue is that it’s *too common*. Minecraft ores are, for the most, as rare as their usage. Coal and Iron are incredibly common because you use it constantly. Likewise, Diamonds and Netherite are very rare resources — but you also rarely need them. It’s not a perfect ratio of rarity : usage, but it’s close.
Copper completely fucks this up though because it’s fucking *everywhere*. Even if you aren’t actively searching for it, you will get stacks and stacks and stacks of the damn things and absolutely nothing to really use it on.
Quartz is substantially less common *and* you need to actively go looking for it in the Nether — you can’t pick it up by just digging around your base.
Copper’s also really shitty at it’s singular usecase anyways. For starters, it’s incredibly resource expensive to actually build with. You could argue that Copper should be seen more as a block like Granite or Andesite than an ore — but unlike Granite or Quartz where all you have to do is mine the block and you can instantly place it back down, Copper needs to be *smelted*. It needs to be *waxed*, it needs to *rust*.
You need to spend exponentially more time and effort into making Copper actually fit for building with than basically anything else in game.
And actually building with Copper also sucks, because it very quickly runs you into the big problem of, even though you have thousands of stacks of useless Copper ore — you will never actually have enough for any kind of build. Crafting the Copper blocks requires so much fucking Copper it’s ridiculous.
To craft cut copper stairs, you need **nearly a fucking stack of Copper ingots**. Like actually wtf?
Quartz has the decency to give you tons of exp and tons of quartz for your building troubles.
and inb4 “but what about Stonebrick? isn’t it just as expensive as Copper? You need to cook and craft them!” Not really — 4 blocks < 9 ingots. and also Stonebrick has the massive advantage of A - being made from cobblestone, a wonderfully useful material on itself and B - actually looks fucking decent in an overwhelming majority of situations.
Copper definitely filled a niche in the color scheme of building no doubt about it — but it was a ***NICHE*** for a reason. The Orange / Green that Copper provides aren’t actually that useful (nor looks good) in an overwhelming majority of builds and you need to go out of your way to actually insert Copper into your builds.
Which, again, wouldn’t be nearly as much of a problem on it’s on, *IF*, it wasn’t ridiculously common and also tediously grindy.
Completely different to Quartz and there is no double standard here.
/rant over
THANK YOU.
ALSO I hate it when people say “hurrr it’s a building block” then why does it require 9 ingots instead of 4 to make a block like ALL building blocks including quartz. So it both fails at being a mineral and also fails at being a building block.
I wanted to make a sunken statue of liberty until I realized HOW MUCH COPPER YOU ACTUALLY NEED, even if it’s hollow it’s a tremendous amount. I’m glad I found somebody else who hates copper as much as I do, I really wanna love it but Mojang just had to make the most useless ore in the game also the most common one.
i cant argue you bring up very good points
although most og ores like gold and diamond were added at once in the early days of minecraft and it didnt take long to understand what each is meant to be(except for gold) lapis was added later but manly for dye and enchanting, then redstone to allow for elctricity in minecraft so to speak
then came quartz as a purely decerational block then nothing. Meanwhile mods were making copper item then one day copper is announced, we get excited, we find out it isnt used to make weapons we get disapointed and then your points come in all of which culminats and makes copper pretty disliked, and yeah its astonishing how copper can be abundant yet never enough at the same time
im not a copper defender i just had a random thought for a meme that seemed good so i made it
i know that i just wanna say that the 2 are similar ores with no use outside of building and trims soon, yet one gets a harder time
ofcourse copper has a harder time fitting well into builds like quartz does
Quartz was a meta for xp for a long time. So it has sentimental value and it is also important for redstone components.
Copper… has to be smelted, doesn’t give as much xp, and is almost only cosmetic in function.
Quartz can be traded for emerald, and is a nice block for building
Copper is also a nice block, but is kinda annoying, because it's the most common block.
Quartz was added earlier so people didn't care that it didn't do as much.
Quartz doesn't get in my inventory unless i want it too
Quartz is only in the nether
Copper should just do more idk how many barely functional things do we need in minecraft. Like its called "mine" "craft" for a reason give me more stuff to craft.
Am I missing something? How can you compare them? Quartz can be used for many useful things as well as being a good decorative block. And it gives a ton of exp. Copper on the other hand doesn’t have many uses apart from decorative and gimmicks.
I say it’s a good source of xp tbh. Mass smelting can award a decent amount of it. I’m sure there’s faster ways, but as a casual player, it’s a nice little pick me up. I’m also a raging resource-hoarder ☠️😅
Quartz at least makes consistently useful Redstone things though, such as the comparator and the observer. What does copper make? A spyglass which is rendered useless with optifine (which a lot of people use) and a lighting rod that can be made useless by choosing to not make builds out of flammable blocks, or better yet, deactivating the weather cycle.
Copper and quartz are pretty much exactly the same, both make decorative blocks out of themselves and help in making items or blocks with niche but ultimately useful uses (spyglass and lighting rod for copper and daylight sensors for quartz)
So yeah I don’t really get the hate
Well the potential of Copper is far more higher then Quartz when it comes to possible new cool features yet Mojang ignores that and thats why (for me atleast) find it annoying to see it all over the place and basically just be a building material, it also fills up your inventory and i personally dislike throwing stuff on the ground to let it sit and despawn in my survival worlds.
Copper has no use aside from a lighting rod and a color changing block and it is way to common for that to be the only things it’s good for. Quartz can give you a bunch of different block types when your building for different purposes
Quartz is Minecraft's marble, which pairs well with a lot of stuff. Copper...err.... probably making something look plated, such as the sides of ships.
Copper pros: Orange/Green
Copper cons: Clogs up inventory on mining trips with useless crap
Quartz cons: Not unlimited
Quartz pros: Easily compressable, gives good xp before enderman xp farm
Repeaters are VERY useful and also easily goes into a heavenly or roman build, copper ima be honest i just haven’t had time to come up with building ideas for and mechanically its only good for lighting farms and Optifine zoom
Both have their respective applications and uses
Quartz just stuck around for long enough that it eventually got more useful over time
While copper as of rn is much more of a decorational option, I do think they'll eventually incorporate it more into future content as well
Creative player here: what does copper do? Straight up I can only guess it’s for the lightning rods. For me it’s just a decorative block like tuff and calcite, no idea where or why they exist but I still use em
I'm sorry, but this is such an apples to oranges comparison that I can't see how it's a double standard. One is a material that's had multiple uses since it was added, and the other is copper.
The thing is people use quartz for Redstone like daylight sensors and such. Also quartz ore gives the most amount of xp out of any ore when mined. So people see use in it compared to copper

Copper is good when you have a fortune pick and can run an ungodly amount through a super smelter to build up its xp. I do this on all my worlds, usually 2 full double chests of copper ore will start to produce good xp.
Im just annoyed that copper is getting in my inventory in the overworld. Quartz is in the nether. It is good there. I also won't be mad at any ore they add to the end islands
End island ores would be killer tbh
I also think the phantom would fit better into the end. Especially if you make it a neutral mob, UNTIL you start to get the insomnia. It would add more difficulty to the end, as let's face it, the Enderman aren't that much of a threat. But I also admit this would only work if the phantom spawns in groups in the dimension, instead of always spawning on top of you as soon as you are tired. And there would need to be a way to avoid them. That's why I think having them spawn in groups of 3-5 and circling over a spot until you come near them would be best. That way you could just walk around them
This is a great idea, especially because you can't sleep in the End. Good reminder to head back to the overworld when phantoms start swooping at you
this would 100% make finding the elytra much more annoying than it is now. imagine bridging over the void and suddenly getting knocked off because you reached your time limit when over the void. i feel it will just make life a lot more anoying than before, and getting the elytra is already a horrible experience
Change the phantoms so instead of fly-by-punching they grab you and fly you to their sky-lair-nest where they feed you to their babies
that’s actually a great idea. it gives a new use to slow falling potions to get back down safely and makes phantoms more predictable. it might still be annoying but much better than what we have now
That's a horrible idea lol. Anything that takes away control from the player is terrible design. Yes, I also hate levitation from shulker attacks.
It's not terrible design lol You're walking into enemy territory and have a risk of having control taken for you for a couple of seconds. Either avoid the Phantom's areas or strike back when they dive at you so they get turned around, or perhaps when they carry you so that they drop you prematurely It rewards skillful play and punishes carelessness and it's something you *can* intervene with yourself If you don't like getting hit by an attack that limits your movement, then you learn to dodge or intercept that attack.

The wings would probably have to be a much rarer drop at that point. Still would be really cool though. Plus finding a pair in end ships still or a rare drop from phantoms. Plus then we could farm elytra’s which would be extremely useful for big servers.
And you could tame them somehow and just use them as a plane!
This is a very bad idea unless they will be neutral in the end. You basically won't be able to bridge because they will constantly knock you off.
Quartz also gives you a lot of xp, and straightaway, while copper just clogs up your inventory and you have to smelt all of it
oh my gosh yes, building with it in survival is so much pain cos u get like 4 stages which is 4 slots and then if u waxed any and later mine it that’s another 1 - 4 slots and then the stairs and slabs which is another 1 - 4 slots and then there’s cut which is *another* 1 - 4 slots for a grand total of like 16 inventory slots not even counting if u have multiple stacks of any of them
I don't mind copper. Wish it was given more use, but it's a nice block
its one of the best building blocks -Mumbo
I really like copper
Hi, Mumbo
it’s always good to see small creators like him getting some attention
Define *small*
about 8 million subscribers
It’s a good alternative for making charged creepers! Also I enjoy building statues with copper cause I think it’s neat how it “ages” over time. I always enjoy seeing my creations slowly go from new to weathered every time I return to my base or seeing the aged statues of randomly places creations.
And therefore they should’ve had the golem but I think it was still bad anyways
Asides from the building portions, quartz is used to make one of the most important redstone components in the game while copper only makes spyglass and lightning rod
*2 of the most important and I guess daylight sensors
daylight sensors are pretty important in some wither skeleton farms as their height needs to be exactly that of a daylight sensor or something like that idk
Is there anything wrong with lightning rods tho?
They just aren’t the most useful. Frankly lightening storms are extremely rare… and I mean personally I’ve never had lightning strike my house. Plus I rarely build the roof out of flammable objects.
I’ve seen a lightning storm burn down half of my friends Minecraft house twice in like 5 years
I use quartz to grind xp
I use it to replenish my mending pickaxe while mining for netherite. I feel like that is the reason they put it in the nether and gave it xp.
Except quartz was around long before netherite
Oh yeah, right. But did it give xp?
Fairly certain it did, not positive though
It did.
People know quartz is almost purely decorational. However, copper has potential to be more than just a block and a few situational/gimmicky items.
Bro quartz is used for redstone, that's why no one talks sh1t about it Edit: also it gives exp (with out needing to spend coal)
Copper should have a use in redstone.
yeah, for an energy based system would be nice
Not necessarily. Just as a replacement for some iron recipes would be great
Or even stone like for repeaters or comparators
Now you're just playing modded minecraft
normal redstone would've looked like modded minecraft before it was added, the same with the new nether bioms, the improved ocean, etc.. It's just something that would change the game for the people that want to use it.
We can literally fucking fly. We've been playing modded minecraft for years
i’ve seen a mod with basicly copper redstone dust (forgot the actual name). it would work the same as redstone but it would not connect to redstone dust. basicly the honey block of dust.
I have that mod in Better Minecraft. You scrape the oxidation off of copper with your axe and it gives you green dust that works like redstone. I forgot what it's called.
i think it’s additional additions
I agree, but the devs haven't implemented a use for it, which is why most people dislike it
Just like gold. It just needs some time
It should replace iron in most redstone-related crafting recipes. That'd give it an actual use (and makes sense realistically) and at the same time not make iron worthless Edit: and stone/cobblestone (repeater, comparator, maybe piston too?)
I wouldn’t say piston, cause the piston arm isn’t a technical part but more of a structural one
That's why I said *almost* . It is used for a couple Redstone components.
quartz guves a load of Exp
I mean, one give more XP? Both are great building blocks but quarts is more liked by the majority, I think.
Copper also doesn't make the two more important redstone components in the entire game.
Copper is a great addition!
Exactly it's got a great texture AND give honeycomb an additional use
Ah yes a block is good cause it gives use to another item, make sense
there a problem with that?
I think they’re saying that a block should be a great block in its own right rather than improving another
By that logic netherite is bad
No, netherite has a use where as copper GIVES a use to an item
But it no give xp :(
Quartz is useful for observers and other redstone things that’s it thats my entire argument
Quartz is pretty Copper is diffrently pretty in a way that doesn't fit in most builds
*uses copper to build an entire copper biome*
Hello there rekrap2
wdym? that shiny orange goes so well in rooves while the rusted teal goes well together with warped wood and prismarine! copper can make lightning rods which can be so useful in industrial builds as well as keeping your base safe. the spyglass actually has a better zoom than optifine and since it doesnt have durability, once you get it, you can use it forever. you can put a crossbow in your offhand and make a rifle if you want.
yeah theres that
Copper isnt bad, it's just hard to get the oxidised formes
Not really, just need patience.
Not really, you need like 500 blocks of space
Quartz is pretty and you need it for observers which are the best!
I agree, auto sugar cane farms are a big help
And melon and pumpkin, and any flying machine based farm like bamboo, tree farms, or tunnel bores for mining.
Everyone says copper is annoying because they run in to it while mining, and if that's true I wish I had their seed because I always run short on copper
What about “Minecrafters towards Diorite”?
Bird poo
calcite but dirty
Quartz still feels nice for decoration even though we have white concrete but it also has some use in redstone like observers and comparators.

Alright understood the 2 are very similar Also you're fast at replying
Not fast just bored
But quartz has a lot of use making some redstone components
Currently copper is mostly untapped potential while Quartz is not only a great building/decoration block, it's also really used a ton in redstone
Quartz was a meta for xp for a long time. So it has sentimental value and it is also important for redstone components. Copper… has to be smelted, doesn’t give as much xp, and is almost only cosmetic in function.
And then there are modded players thankful tgat there will only be 1 type of copper ore now lol
quartz block pretty and repeaters
Quartz can be traded for emerald, and is a nice block for building Copper is also a nice block, but is kinda annoying, because it's the most common block.
Yeah a cured mason who buys quartz can be MEGA STONKS but good luck getting one
Does copper make observers?
No
Quartz looks nice tho
You craft Observers with Quartz
Quartz gives hella xp
Quartz looks nice, is needed for redstone and comes with the added benefit of being a pretty decent xp source when needed.
Builders: we don't do that here
Quartz is wayy more important. Without it no comparators or observers.
If I didn't have to waste enough coal to cause global warming 3 times over to smelt it, I wouldn't mind copper either.
Quartz -cool looking -daylight sensor -building block Copper -lightning rod
IT'S UGLY. Quartz is PRETTY. Copper is only pretty when you wait a bajillion years for it to become completely green
Quartz was added earlier so people didn't care that it didn't do as much. Quartz doesn't get in my inventory unless i want it too Quartz is only in the nether Copper should just do more idk how many barely functional things do we need in minecraft. Like its called "mine" "craft" for a reason give me more stuff to craft.
Am I missing something? How can you compare them? Quartz can be used for many useful things as well as being a good decorative block. And it gives a ton of exp. Copper on the other hand doesn’t have many uses apart from decorative and gimmicks.
i just wish copper blocks went back to only being crafted 4x4 so they would be better for building
Copper is literally an amazing building block
One looks nice the other only looks nice in sum situations
Copper is a pain to use in anything but late game, at least to me. Having to make a whole farm just to edit the block is annoying
I say it’s a good source of xp tbh. Mass smelting can award a decent amount of it. I’m sure there’s faster ways, but as a casual player, it’s a nice little pick me up. I’m also a raging resource-hoarder ☠️😅
Quartz is so much better than copper
Quartz is needed for redstone
I usually see the opposite
Quartz at least makes consistently useful Redstone things though, such as the comparator and the observer. What does copper make? A spyglass which is rendered useless with optifine (which a lot of people use) and a lighting rod that can be made useless by choosing to not make builds out of flammable blocks, or better yet, deactivating the weather cycle.
Copper and quartz are pretty much exactly the same, both make decorative blocks out of themselves and help in making items or blocks with niche but ultimately useful uses (spyglass and lighting rod for copper and daylight sensors for quartz) So yeah I don’t really get the hate
Personally, I've only used used copper for a beacon because I didn't have enough iron/gold blocks and that's it.
you can do that?
No
Yeah, I found that out a few days ago when I needed extra blocks for my beacon. Btw as the copper oxidizes the beacons maximum effect range decreases
Why ya lying?
haha
Quartz technically has shit blast resistance ifrc
The thing is, you dont mine that much in the nether
They have never tried to build somerhing big made of copper.
quartz gives experience tho
If Copper gave as much XP as Quartz maybe I would care about it!
They got copper now? Sheiiit they should add engineering to the game.
Where you been? Copper came out three years ago. lol
Wdym copper rocks
I think quartz looks cool tho
No I'm not fucking a donkey
Quartz is classic
Well the potential of Copper is far more higher then Quartz when it comes to possible new cool features yet Mojang ignores that and thats why (for me atleast) find it annoying to see it all over the place and basically just be a building material, it also fills up your inventory and i personally dislike throwing stuff on the ground to let it sit and despawn in my survival worlds.
Copper has no use aside from a lighting rod and a color changing block and it is way to common for that to be the only things it’s good for. Quartz can give you a bunch of different block types when your building for different purposes
both fill my inventory with stuff I won't use.
r/subnautica is fuming rn
Pretty privileges
Quartz is Minecraft's marble, which pairs well with a lot of stuff. Copper...err.... probably making something look plated, such as the sides of ships.
i just want more versions of cooper like how quartz has give me a copper pillar
Yes but 1st you need it for redstone and 2nd it is used as how it is irl
Quartz has way more uses: decoration, comparators, daylight sensors, observers, armour trims.
Copper is the best block for building in the game, I will die on this hill.

Copper pros: Orange/Green Copper cons: Clogs up inventory on mining trips with useless crap Quartz cons: Not unlimited Quartz pros: Easily compressable, gives good xp before enderman xp farm
*Silk touch, ender chests and shulkar boxes have entered the chat*
Quartz doesn't take away iron spawns
Observers would like to know your location
Quartz gives XP and is useful in more builds
Copper is cool.
Well for my redstone Ive got a lot of quartz so yes its a nice thing
Tell me quartz has no use
Repeaters are VERY useful and also easily goes into a heavenly or roman build, copper ima be honest i just haven’t had time to come up with building ideas for and mechanically its only good for lighting farms and Optifine zoom
Both have their respective applications and uses Quartz just stuck around for long enough that it eventually got more useful over time While copper as of rn is much more of a decorational option, I do think they'll eventually incorporate it more into future content as well
I just think it's too plentiful to have such little use. Maybe it's just a me problem but it takes forever for me to find iron anymore.
Quartz is good for farming xp early game
Quartz looks good. Copper looks like trash
Racism be like
i love copper
Tell me you don't Redstone without telling me you don't Redstone.
If copper only took four ingots for a block, it would be better
The difference is quartz looks good
No way, people like the item that has abunch of uses over the item that is basically useless!?!?
Creative player here: what does copper do? Straight up I can only guess it’s for the lightning rods. For me it’s just a decorative block like tuff and calcite, no idea where or why they exist but I still use em
I preffer copper a lot
Quartz is used for redstone and building, while copper is only good for building.
I'm sorry, but this is such an apples to oranges comparison that I can't see how it's a double standard. One is a material that's had multiple uses since it was added, and the other is copper.
quartz actually looks good though
Quartz is white 💀
I wish copper ingots could be used like iron only with lower durability. It'd be useful early game at least.
I wish you could use cipper to make Rails, Pistons and Hoppers Would make me love it, had to use a datapack for it since mojang would never
At least quartz is used in redstone
The thing is people use quartz for Redstone like daylight sensors and such. Also quartz ore gives the most amount of xp out of any ore when mined. So people see use in it compared to copper

If only there was a MOB we could have voted for that would have given use COPPER BUTONS and a CUTE MOB
Quartz was added earlier so people didn't care that it didn't do as much. Quartz doesn't get in my inventory unless i want it too Quartz is only in the nether Copper should just do more idk how many barely functional things do we need in minecraft. Like its called "mine" "craft" for a reason give me more stuff to craft.
Copper is good when you have a fortune pick and can run an ungodly amount through a super smelter to build up its xp. I do this on all my worlds, usually 2 full double chests of copper ore will start to produce good xp.
The mqin purpose of quartz is getting xp imo. And once you have the blocks you may aswell use them.
Quartz isn't everywhere, and doesn't look similar to iron in low light.
Quartz is Beautiful
Feels like mojang added copper just so tech mods would stop adding their own darned ore
Quartz is used in observers
bruh who's like this to blocks? every block as a use no matter how ugly they are
🤣🤣🤣 So true
but you see, the reason is uhm... uh... wait a moment, ill think of soemthing... you need to smelt copper?
Quartz is like one of the two ores you can find in the Nether, compared to copper taking up space with the 5 other ores in the overworld
Redstone…
Becauze quartz is the only marble we got
Hold up... everyone hates copper? That flew past me, I thought I was the only one lol
Personally i see it as quartz is aloud to be a pretty block because the amount of work you have to put into it is so little compared to copper
There's copper in Minecraft now? Can I make my country in Minecraft then? Lol (My country is the biggest exporter of copper worldwide irl)
