Exposed copper ore to air should oxidize

The current copper ore texture features small bits of copper on the outside of the block. When searching for copper ore in caves, the ore should be in an oxidized state if its adjacent to air. It should have its own texture that replace the orange bits of the ore to green. The other ore of the vein that are not adjacent to air should not be oxidized and have its default texture. Silk Touch should apply.

  No, it’s already oxidized.

  The water that dissolved the rocks to carve the caves contained oxygen as well. This oxidized the copper. :)

  I think this would make more sense if it applied to the full copper blocks when they're surrounded by blocks because copper ore in real life still oxidizes due to water and such seeping through the stone and adding this feature would just add another ore variation that would be out of place compared to the other ores
