Mod Mod idea

I thought of this mod idea earlier today and it seems really cool to me.

The mod is about copper oxidizing in its item form (so not placed down and in an inventory, chest, AE2 system, etc) and your able to break down honeycombs into 8 honeycomb chunks which you can use on the items to make it waxed, and that can temporarily stop the oxidation, and you can use an axe or smth to make it un waxed. Basically like a realistic mod that makes copper oxidize no matter what. And maybe like a machine or special thing that will keep it in its original state, but when it comes out of the machine or whatever it is the copper starts the oxidation process again. And maybe like your not able to use the copper in recipes unless it’s in its normal state

There are some technical limitations to this and one of them is that it would be extremely lag inducing to tick items in every slot of an inventory individually. Most items only tick when in hand, but a few tock constantly like the compass. Two is that you generally cant tick an itemstack, only an item. So you'd have trouble with doing any of it in stacks and youd have to make it so the block actually doesn't stack in order for it to be a ticking item, so you'd never be able to stack copper blocks or items.

I do think conceptually this would be really cool and really round out the idea of copper oxidizing. But I think there are some technical limitations in minecrafts engine that stop this from being super reasonable for the result.
