No Raw Ores [Datapack]

No Raw Ores is a 1.17 datapack that removes raw ores from the game. They are still there, of course, but they can't be obtained normally and instead of them, you can mine regular ore blocks like in all MC versions before.

Both stone and deepslate variants of gold, iron and copper ores have their loot tables changed to old ones with an ore block instead of raw ores.

The new raw ore blocks retain their functionality and can still be crafted - this time from 4 ore blocks, either regular or deepslate. This also provides you with a way to convert your deepslate ores to the regular ones, as raw ore blocks can be crafted into 4 ore blocks - they can serve as a way to store all your ores until you have enough coal to smelt them all!
