Copper ore is a common ore that yields copper and small amounts of gold.
Copper ore is slightly more common than iron ore, but it occurs at higher levels (layers 40-96). Veins of copper ore are also slightly smaller. Below oceans, copper ore less commonly occurs at deeper levels (layers 20-55).
Copper ore must be mined with a stone pickaxe or better. If it is mined, it drops itself as an item.
