Copper, Gold and Iron ores now drop their ingot variants. No more smelting!
Copper, Gold and Iron ores are the only ones that need to be smelted before you can use them for anything useful. Not anymore!
This does not affect Ancient Debris or Netherite.
You can still obtain Raw Copper and Raw Iron by mining their block form found in large veins. [Read more about ore veins here]
[!] Raw Gold CAN'T be obtained through vanilla means with this mod enabled (and without other mods that give other ways to obtain Raw Gold).
