Think about it: It's a little rarer than iron, and it would perfectly fix the progression issues.
Structure loot would change a little. While nether portals and bastions would have the same loot, ocean monuments would change their 4 nether gold blocks into overworld gold.
Overworld golden apples could have special niche status effects, like being able to see in lava, or complete knockback resistance.
Edit: Just realized that iron and diamond are already very close in armor units. It could be slightly buffed, but still be lacking in armor toughness.

Because isn’t the difference between iron and diamond armor 2 1/2 armor units? Diamond is marginally better protection and comes with much greater durability but honestly until its enchanted diamond armor doesn’t really shine compared to iron except for its durability. So there’s no need for a “between iron and diamond” armor.
copper is perfect. i spend the early game building. i dont wanna spend all that time in the mines hoarding iron. copper is perfect for me.
I actually use copper over iron when it comes to armor. Iron is better but there are so many things I’d rather hoard and use my iron for, for future builds while I have copper in abundance.
oh my god it’s this fucking image again
I just wish they made iron armor way more late game, truly in the middle of diamond and start instead of a few minutes into the game. Letting us stay in copper, chainmail, gold, leather land for way longer.
