Zombies drop raw metals instead of ingots

With the raw metals added in 21w14a,zombies and drowned should drop raw iron and raw copper respectively instead of their ingot variants.

  I personally dissagree. Making zombies drop the ores would make less sense to the lore than letting them drop the ingots.Essentially, zombies currently have a chance to drop almost anything you can find commonly in a dungeon chest. They originally added this feature as a way to get an unexpected suprise while killing a low level monster. Like most people, I can can understand 1 iron, or crop to plant as a reward for that small of a task is a good early game reward. An iron block would be too large, and an iron ore drop would defeat the purpose of making the drop rate low as they would now have to work to smelt it as well. As for a reward for drops, ingots are perfect for the job. Less mob variants spawned in the nether when it was added, zombie pigmen being the most common, which is why they chose to do nuggets for them. They may not be as common as they were in the past, but they did add gold to the nether, so we really cant complain. The feature should stay the way it is as a small rewards system for new players.
