Ardite, Cobalt do not spawn in nether biomes with custom netherrack, eg. that provided by NetherEx

Issue description:
Mods that add new types of netherrack, such as NetherEx, will prevent Cobalt and Ardite from spawning except in the few places where vanilla netherrack is present. This makes it a lot harder to find Cobalt and Ardite than is probably intended.
The developer of NetherEx claims this is because Tinker's Construct ores target the vanilla netherrack block, rather than targeting the netherrack oredict entry.

(On the right is a biome of vanilla netherrack -- cobalt and ardite ore spawn in large amounts. On the left is "living netherrack", added by NetherEx, which is registered in the oredict as netherrack. No cobalt or ardite spawn there)
Oredictionary was never designed for worldgen, it is an item concept. Sure, we could have targeted it in theory, but it feels like a misuse of the system when we never expected mods to change things like that.
Our ores in 1.12 were added like nether quartz ore if I remember, if the Nether Ex author had to do hacks to get quartz ore, not sure why he expects our to work off the bat.
In any case, ignoring the fact that the suggested solution is a misuse of the oredictionary (afterall, we misuse the oredictionary here as well), I cannot see this changing anytime soon. We have strongly shifted focus to 1.15, so any major changes that may significant break things (for instance, changing the entire way our ore gen functions) is unlikely. This problem is fixed easily in 1.15 as Mojang added a proper system like the oredictionary, but for blocks.
