Husk and silverfish loot table addition!

Sand and gravel (currently non renewable, if not using certain devices) would be amazing to have as mob loot.
There are some quite useless mobs that could be used for this (gives the certain mobs a purpouse, also certain devices less of a purpouse) like Husks for sand and silverfish for gravel.

Thanks for taking this into concideration!
Best regards

    I think this is a great idea for many reasons.

    1. Silverfish spawners are rare but almost always destroyed as they serve no purpose other than adding challenge midgame when the player is about to fight the dragon. This will make the spawners a reward.
    2. Husks and stays dont feel different enough from skelletons and zombies to be worth farming for most players. Adding sand drops to husks and even something like ice to the stray will help show that husks and strays are different mobs and not just varients of common zombies and skelletons.
    3. With the addition of concrete sand and gravel have a lot higher value than before. Concrete is often used in large amounts making collecting sand and gravel very grindy and demotivating for some player and hindering their creativity. This is especialy true with gravel as it was not that important untill concrete was added. This has the negative side effect of the biomes not made originaly to make it easy to collect gravel as it was not important. I often see on servers people running out of gravel very easily unless they use some sort of biome finding program as gravel containing biomes are pretty rare.
    4. Adding these loot tables will also give technical players another option for obtaining these blocks. This allows players to not have to reley on exploits to farm these blocks on both bedrock edition and java edition. This is important on bedrock because duplicating these blocks using end portals was patched. A mechanic that has been on java for a while.

    After 1.16, gravel is technically renewable, but I don't want to give gold for renewable gravel, I like the silverfish gravel drop much better. I also like the husk sand drop much better than giving wandering traders emeralds for it. Sand and gravel are early game necessities like cobblestone, so they should be easier to get. Also, maybe husks can drop an ingredient for a potion or something so people actually want to kill them for bigger purposes. For example, it could drop a tooth that could be used to make resistance potions.

    This would be great and pays a bit of homage to those end portal dupers since silverfish spawners only generate in strongholds.
