Minecraft 1.21.9 Java Edition Download
On September 30, 2025, the new version Minecraft: Java Edition – 1.21.9 was released. In this update, the developers expanded the use of copper: now players can craft tools, armor, and items from it. In addition, a new mob will appear – the Copper Golem. There are also some other changes in the new version, which you can learn about here!

Innovations
Blocks and items. This section introduces copper grates, chains (crafted similar to iron ones), a chest (requires covering it with copper ingots), a lantern, and improved torches with distinctive glowing. The lightning rod now also has oxidized variations. Decorative shelves can be crafted in any type of wood.
Along with other types of armor, copper armor has been added, with quality comparable to gold. The same applies to tool crafting. This material now stands on par with others and can be widely used.
· Mobs. The main star of the update is the new Copper Golem, which can move and has oxidation stages. It is smaller than the familiar Iron Golem and can interact with the environment. Has 6 hearts of health. Drops several ingots upon death. Takes no damage from falling or drowning. It can also carry items in its hands, seeking nearby chests. Iron Golems can place a decorative flower on its head, which unfortunately falls off when the Copper Golem turns into a statue.
· Entity. From this update, the player can summon their copy using the command minecraft:mannequin. It is a full copy of the player’s avatar, which responds to commands. Functions like an armor stand. You can equip it with armor or give it a weapon. It can take damage or transfer effects, making it perfect for various tests. Through the command list, it can also take different poses such as falling, swimming, crouching, etc. (just like the player).
Changes
· Effects and crafting. A copper trapdoor was added, crafted from 4 ingots in a square shape. Test blocks now transfer error notifications between world loads. Dyes have updated item icons. Now they are all displayed on wooden tiles as backgrounds.
· Mob updates. Now enemies may spawn with copper armor or weapons (on par with gold and iron). Their spawn chance has been increased from 9.5% to 10.87%, so players can encounter them more often. Happy Ghasts can now be heard from a greater distance (64 blocks), and the riding sound has been slightly changed. Iron Golems have also learned to use flowers held in their hands and can place them into the head slot of a Copper Golem.
Fixes
The new version addressed 148 bugs of varying importance that affected gameplay. These changes include a wide range of fixes. For example, water and lava can now drip through barriers. In spectator mode, it is now possible to leash entities. The F3 menu can no longer be switched with chat active. Fixed errors and issues in spectator mode, some bugs in the new features, and various inconvenient aspects that needed developer attention.
