Copper that looks like iron
Copper ore was introduced in Minecraft 1.17 and does not itself oxidize. Vanilla 1.8.8 and 1.12.2 have no copper ore, but a resource pack or custom server item can reuse another block's appearance or name. A screenshot alone does not establish that a confusing block is iron.

The vanilla version boundary is documented; the cause of an individual texture mismatch is not. A modified server or pack can present custom items, and the 26.2 block inventory has not been checked in a gameplay session.
- Record the exact client version and whether this is singleplayer, a modified client or a custom server.
- Compare with the default resource pack in a copy of the world. Check the item name or server documentation, not only ore colors.
- Do not confuse copper ore with copper blocks that can oxidize in newer Minecraft versions.
- The 26.2 download page does not document an inventory list. No 26.2 copper mining level or diagnosis is verified here.
Questions
Does 26.2 add copper?
Not stated by the download page. Unverified means do not write a guide that assumes the ore level.
