Change log v.63

Anthracite is now Anthraxolite
A tonne of mobs not actively avoid other mobs if they think they are potential prey for them
Finished Palaeopedia rework/standardization, all entries (excluding variant mobs) now have renders instead of images, including fixes to grammatical errors and updated entries

Orthocone orientation is fixed to be vertical, including proper rotations. The following conditions must be true for vertical orientation: ⦁ The shell will not stick out of water if vertical ⦁ The shell will not phase into other solid blocks if vertical The following Ammonites are moved from pelagic AI (Free swimming) to benthic AI (Bottom walking): ⦁ Asteroceras ⦁ Goniatites Rhadinosteus larval stage added, and Rhadinosteus eggs now hatch into tadpoles rather than adult Rhadinosteus. A series of HP standardizations have been added Lots of mobs now actively avoid other mobs they consider to be potentially dangerous to them.
