To craft a Block of Copper, you only require 4 ingots. To craft a block of Raw Copper, you require 9. This is inconsistent considering they are the same material. View my attached images for a visual representation.

This is consistent with other blocks like gold, iron, diamond etc. The copper block recipe is inconsistent with gold block, iron block etc. as it requires 4 instead of 9. (Used to be 9, but was changed.)
Alternatively, all raw metal block recipes can be changed to require 4 raw ores instead of 9. However this prevents MC-223185 to be fixed.
I would love to see the resolution to this issue rediscussed, as the fix of making copper ore drop 2-3 copper for balance is broken and is inconsistent. The maths don’t work out. A much simpler fix would be having copper blocks cost 9 ingots and the cut copper 4 ingots. (To conserve copper builds low expenses without damaging other potential features.) 2-3 raw copper drops throws all possible future recipes using copper out the window, and the inventory clutter problem isn’t fixed by dividing by 2.25 (block expense) and multiplying by 2.5 (raw copper drops) one inconsistency was replaced with another.
Can confirm
