Fix Java17 Specific issues and remove DESERT_HILLS

[GiorgioBrux]

• Using the 3.3.0 maven shade plugin that supports java17
• Changed all repo links from http to https cause otherwise maven complains and there is no point in keeping them http anymore.
• Fixed tests by making some changes to the files, updating the test deps and using two java args as a workaround for the Java Platform Module System introduced in Java9. This is only a temporary workaround, but works good enough for now.
• Removed DESERT_HILLS from the code because the biome has been removed in mc 1.18.

idk how I'm supposed to update a PR to master branch, clearly there's a setting I'm missing that I set on GP's repo, but anyway.
