About the Copper Pickaxe
The Copper Pickaxe is not part of vanilla Minecraft 1.21. The base game has no copper tools or armor, so this item does not appear in a normal survival world. Copper is mainly used for building blocks, lightning rods, and redstone-friendly blocks like the Copper Bulb.
If you are seeing this pickaxe on a server or in a modpack, it likely comes from a mod or data pack rather than the default game.
How to get the Copper Pickaxe
In an unmodified 1.21 world, there is no way to craft or find a Copper Pickaxe. If your world or server adds it through a mod or data pack, the crafting recipe and possible loot locations depend on that specific pack. Check its guide or recipe viewer for the exact ingredients.
