Calcite and Dripstone Revival +Limestone!

This update is returning to caves and adding new blocksets to brand new blocks! So, the same should be done for these forgotten cave blocks dripstone and calcite, since tuff and copper got revived in Tricky Trials and further in Copper Age.

Calcite needs to be made farmable for more usage in survival. I think limestone should be added for this process even though dripstone = limestone essentially. So, combine 4 dripstone blocks into new limestone blocks then smelt limestone to calcite or ignore limestone and just smelt dripstone to calcite for easy access. Limestone would be nice for another beige color in game and other crafting potential down the line maybe for steel production.

Anyways, since normally 4 raw blocks make bricks or polished, in this case 4 DS makes LS blocks. Instead use 9-pointed DS items for polished, akin to prismarine brick recipe, then craft bricks. Of course, raw DS can still craft the raw stairs and slabs since those won't conflict with LS.

In beach biomes the sandstone layer could have limestone mixed and have some exposed limestone on the surface side to indicate that its a new beach. Coral crusts on Bedrock should consist mostly of limestone and Java should add these coral crusts for parity. Finally, update fossil generation with limestone around it.

    That geology thing seems like a lot why not just use those inputs in the crafting recipes like 2 dripstone and 2 charcoal for 4 calcite and so on. We don't need a complicated table for simple crafting geology is in the game practically.

    What does chiseled limestone look like? Dino skull?

    A dino skull would be sick especially if Mojang updates the fossils to be coated in limestone but they normally feature a mob in game. So I think chiseled limestone should depict a nautilus it would fit perfectly!
    Chiseled dripstone should be a drowned since those caves have a high concentration of copper ore and of course its drowned loot.
    Chiseled calcite makes since to depict an allay since its found in a geode and amethyst are used to dupe them and I don't see chiseled amethyst coming to the game ever unless amethyst becomes more stone like and less glass like.

    I think limestone should be found in coral reefs and beneath beach biomes

    OP here. I like the inclusion of limestone under beaches especially with how big they can generate and on coral reefs. When I get more time later I'll add this in the post and take out the geology stuff.
