heavily rebalance resources

• remove redundant essences and seeds (mods that are not in the modpack)
• remove unnatural essences and seeds
  • e.g. bronze is an alloy and its ore is not present in the world
• remove recipes with animal essences
  • the essence should be used with soul spawner to get the resources
• decrease yield from recipes with monsters essences
• change recipes with ore/metal essences
  • only ore recipes available
  • it should encourage player into processing (smelting/crushing/etc)
• rebalance smelting/crushing recipes for ores/metals
  • recipes change for:
    • furnace
    • blast furnace
    • Tinkers' Construct's smeltery and foundry
    • Immersive Engineering's Crusher and Arc furnace
  • more advanced processing will increase processing yield
  • e.g. crushing + smelting in arc furnace is more profitable
  • e.g. just ore smelting in vanila furnace is the least profitable
• remove food recipes with essence
  • e.g. potato should be grown as a potato instead of nature essence
• change wood essence recipes
  • no specific wood/sapling craft until its sapling found in the world
• removed essence recipes for resources obtainable with processing
  • e.g. sand can be obtained via crushing cobblestone
• change recipe of autosmelt tool ability to align with the new balance
• add manual ore to dust craft using Engnieer's Hammer
• add alternative recipe for Sky Blocks and Certus Quartz (AE2)
  • preparation to removing meteorites from the world
• add Cobalt Grit item
  • to have the same processing way for all metals
  • apparently only cobalt doesn't have its "dust" item
• add Mud Ball item
  • intermediate item for clay crafting
  • required since direct essence to clay crafting is removed
• add minor fixes
• note: in general, this rebalance should encourage player to use all mods instead of locking their experience around Mystical Agriculture (MA), plus rebalance MA since it looks overpowered
