What

Adding raw ores to GTCEu 1.12.2 as both GTNH and GT Modern have Raw Ores but CEu doesn't

Implementation Details

This was originally implemented on the 2.8.10 branch but it compiles and launches on the master branch.

I basically used the PropertyKey and Builder implementation to add the raw ores. I'm by no means an expert programmer but the way I implemented it was pretty simple to do.

Perhaps some extra work could be done such as making raw ores toggleable via a config option and to maybe make single block miners also drop raw ores instead of the ore block itself.

Outcome

Raw ores that allow GregTech Ores to more or less be affected by Fortune tools, granting players a bit more ore for their ore. The oreDict also starts with oreRaw so anything filtered to be ore* should be able to pick up the raw ores no problem without needing to edit existing filters. It also works with other mods that add their own ores as well.

Using silk touch on the regular Ore Block still provides the original ore block, similar to how vanilla handles it. The drop of raw ores by fortune is also done more or less the same as vanilla with Diamond/Coal ore.

Additional Information

I used the Raw Ore textures from GT Modern as I am terrible at making Textures and it was something that was quick and easy to get going. I will be honest I wasn't entirely sure if I'm allowed to do this or not because of the license but I figured since both projects are owned by the CEu team I figured it would be fine?

The screenshot is how it looks in game, even showing a custom ore added by another mod.

Potential Compatibility Issues

As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any compatibility issues and even works with mods adding custom ores. Only thing I could think of that might cause compatibility issues is mods patching the classes I've edited might have a hissy fit but I'm unsure.
