Adds more colored variations and patterns to the decorative blocks from Mirage!

Added support for patterns from other mods and added two pattern from Dye Depot’s glazed terracotta. Also added a handful of more colours. I still need to work on allowing this to be configurable and properly detecting if the mod is installed and adding the recipes based on that.

Added enums that specify relative positionings of dyes and patterns to each others and added some enum configs to allow the player to customise the creative mode tab. I went through multiple iterations before settling on having each enum value contain a mutable list that allows the ordering to be edited and filtered.

Allowed for adding custom faded terracotta blocks and generating the lang and block state. Faded terracotta for the mod compatibility will be in this mod rather than Mirage due to Mirage not needing these blocks as by default they aren’t going to naturally occur in world gen unlike the other faded blocks.

Wrote a script to allow me to automatically generate the textures from provided palettes and patterns to make adding more palettes and patterns easier.

Started to add compatibility with mod ‘Dye Depot’, currently added 3 of the dyes, will later add the rest of the dyes alongside the patterns.

Partially restructured the code to make this compatibility easier and not hardcode the namespace of the blank terracotta.

All the colours for the first 3 patterns!

For each of the patterns, those 5 tones per group of faded terracotta have been compressed again into 3 to make it cleaner so the colour and contrast stands out more, especially for the darkest and brightest colours
The colour palette was then manually created for each one, tweaking each individual tone until it looked the nicest across a range of textures
I have then been slowly applying the colour palettes to every block

Started work on the actual coloured blocks tweaking contrast and forming palettes that can be used for all patterns

Added a terracotta database system to allow for dynamic and easy generation of tags and recipes to prevent lots of boilerplate when adding hundreds of new coloured blocks!
