Mob loot
Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include copper boots. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the boots they're wearing upon death. The dropped boots are usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.
Usage
When worn, copper boots provide 1 () armor points.
Repairing
Two damaged pairs of copper boots can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used copper boots are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either boots.
