Replace Glowstone in Dark Forest/Ur-Ghast chest loot for Prismarine Shard or Crystal #4341

Context

`In my current run in Alpha 4 AotS the amount of Prismarine I've gotten clearing a maze is abysmal. 7 vs 27 Glowstone Dust I can't use till T3 ## Config/Script Details (if desired) Change Glowstone loot in chests for Prismarine, In Dark Forest maze and Ur-ghast tower ## Further context As I explored the maze the spawn rates of what could drop the priismarine shards was very low. As it takes 4 shards per Crystal, and 5 Prismarine Crystals per lamp. The ratio is far too expensive vs simply waiting till T3 and glowstone

I managed to farm multiple stacks of prismarine from a stronghold. Found a few looting I steelleaf swords in chests and combined them in an anvil that was in the goblin knight stronghold, also you might need to check the other strongholds nearby not sure if it's in every one but there is a room in some of them that has a helmet crab spawner in it (the one I found had two spawner rooms right next to each other.) You'll get tons of armor shards and fish but also plenty of prismarine shards.

It's not that you can't farm it Hazmatik. It's a suggestion to replace the current Glowstone spawn in the loot chests to be Prismarine or Prismarine Crystals on an even rarer chance. To help encourage early Blood Magic advancement. As it stands the ratio isn't there without having to take the time to farm it, Or even explore multiple Dark Strongholds to find a spawner, I couldn't think of any reason I'd open and explore a second rather then clear the Ur-Ghast to gain access to age 3. And if Glowstone is just removed from those loot tables this may just discourage people from using Blood Magic to it's extent at Age 2
