CTB Minecraft assets and bugfixes, no big features

[mbandersmc]

• uint16_t blockData changed to uint32_t to fix the water biome colors in the world importer reading garbage data and appearing random.
• The the_ prefix is no longer removed from the_nether and the_end dimensions' internal names. (changing the internal file names like that just felt wrong to me lmao)
• Changes in NBT.cpp and NBT.hpp are in place to fix the program trying to remove the minecraft: prefix from blockstate names in the world importer - where there is no such prefix.
  • (e.g. vertical_direction becomes irection, waterlogged becomes d, etc.)
  • Several .Replaced("minecraft:", "") lines were added to Section.cpp to fix what removing that code broke.
  • (im telling you all this because i asked chatgpt for that solution (sorry) and i feel like maybe you could implement something better here instead)

Notes:

• When opened in GameMaker, the clouds texture appears corrupted (likely due to too many new textures in the Minecraft assets). Appears normal in C++.
• When opened in GameMaker, there is a random chance for the program to close itself during asset loading (might be related to previous note, not sure). Does not happen in C++ as far as I know.
• ➕ Some new Minecraft blocks use textures larger than 16x16 (shelf blocks, shelf mushroom, straw bed). These textures cause the rest of the block sheet to double/quadruple in size, which takes up more RAM (and also creates disparity with the animated block textures. I couldn't find a better solution to this than overwriting these textures and models with custom ones to make them all use 16x16 textures (not ideal !!!).

I'm trying to upgrade the project to GameMaker LTS 2026 as part of the repo cleanup, I had to replace array_contains, string_split and matrix_inverse and patch the sun shader and ds_list/map_valid function. Are you on an older version? After fixing those things I get the same cloud issue. Schematic loading seems pretty unstable in GM but works in C++.

There are issues with AO and reflections after your changes (in CppProject), I'm investigating right now.

Yea I've still been using IDE v2022.0.2.51 Runtime v2022.0.2.49, same as old 2.0.2.

I haven't noticed any significant changes to AO or reflections between 2.0.2 and this branch after compiling, so these issues might just be a GML/C++ difference (or maybe another runtime upgrade issue(?)).

I figured out the AO/reflections, it was due to dev_mode_skip_tangents=true.
Let's continue discussions in #44.
