I really like the copper blocks and the orange color is particularly pretty, but it rusts very quickly on my server and of course then it isn't orange anymore, but blue! I think it'd be within the concept of this mod to be able to manufacture a preservative oil that can be combined with copper blocks (and future rusting metals) to create a "preserved" variant that never deteriorates. Along the same line, it'd be neat if silk touch broke copper in the stage it has rusted to so we can experiment a little more with building neat roofs and walls (see Bdouble's S7 castle roof for example).

Thanks for the work, I'm really enjoying the new update so far!

I propose to use recipe from upcoming Minecraft 1.17 update that will make possible to preserve copper-based blocks by waxing them with honeycomb.
