Windmill-Powered Ore Crusher - Double Ore Output [0.7]

Hi all!

It lives! Welcome to the Ore Crusher 2.0. This new ore crusher connects to a windmill and works automatically to grind your ores into bags of powdered ore, doubling the amount of ingots that you can make.

You build the ore crusher as a large-block item, placing it so that its wooden gearbox butts up against the driveshaft from your windmill. Once the crusher is built, you then create the grindstone "toolhead" at the craft table. You add that to the crusher's inventory just like a vanilla toolhead. If your windmill is functioning, you will see the grindstone appear on the crusher and start spinning. Then, just add your ores to the inventory, and watch them crush!

*** KNOWN ISSUE: As you first place this, you may see strange purple blocks show up. But once you start building it they go away. ***

This crusher can accept iron, copper, and tin ores. It cannot crush gold or silver, as the rarity of those precious metals is something I didn't want to alter in the game.

For the modders out there, I have tried to document a little bit in the SBCs how the mod works. The big purpose of this was to see if windmill mechanics are completely moddable. And they are! And don't require any scripts.

Hope you all enjoy.
