Adding Crystal Apothecary Harvestables

The Crystal Apothecary is a functional block that automatically harvests blocks in it's vicinity.

You can specify additional conversions, or edit existing ones, by placing json files in the directory: <data_pack_or_mod_name>/crystal_apothecary_harvestables. Here you have 2 options:

• Simple Variant: one-liner, that will make the Apothecary detect any block when placed and process it's drops
• Extensive Variant: ore extensive json, that allows the Apothecary to additionally simulate (gemstone cluster) block growth for unloaded chunks
