General

• Removed the component minecraft:unwalkable
• Renamed 'minecraft:explosion_resistance' to 'minecraft:destructible_by_explosion' and restructured the component to be either defined as a boolean or as an object
  • Setting the component to true will give the block the default explosion_resistance and setting it to false will make the block indestructible by explosion
  • Setting the component as an object will let users define the resistance of the block to a base explosion
