In the game
How to get it
Copper ingots in the armor shapes: helmet 5, chestplate 8, leggings 7, boots 4 (24 ingots the set).
What it is for
Takes 36 % of the blows of creatures, players, arrows, fire and lava for the whole set; it slows you a little for its weight.
Why it exists
Copper comes early from the first caves (veins within 48 m): a step up from hide before iron.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
Copper armor: soft red copper that turns green in its hollows: more than hide, still easy to make.
Recipe
Copper ingots in the four armor shapes: helmet 5, chestplate 8, leggings 7, boots 4 -- 24 ingots for the set. The shapes are those of Hide armor.

Weight slows walking and sprinting by 0.25 % per kg, swimming by 1.2 % per kg, and makes running, jumping and swimming more tiring.
Compare every armor on Hide armor, or go on to Iron armor.
