Drop Cobblestone as well as Raw Ores

At the moment, when mining iron, copper, and gold ores you get a raw version of the ore. It would be a nice touch and logical addition to also drop cobblestone or cobbled deep slate depending on the type of ore. It would also add more variation if these ores occasionally dropped ingots, or if the other ores, such as diamond, dropped a raw version as well.

  Redstone ore sometimes drops small crystals that have some use. These crystals can be ground into dust, and dust can be smelted into these crystals.

  The reason copper, iron, and gold must be smelted is because they are impure coming from the ground. The impurities must be cooked off. It would make no sense for ore to occasionally drop ingots. It may make more sense for ore to occasionally drop nuggets though.

  Raw diamond is kinda... pointless? So, you have a small lump of rock with a diamond sticking out. Just crack it with a pickaxe and free the diamond. No point in wasting fuel.

  I will totally 100% get behind cobble dropping from ore tho. :)
