Update Frame Quarry requirements (#5)

The requirements for the frame quarry were pretty outdated, some items were only used when we did the runs on the Bedcraft server with TickThreading.

This updates the requirements to the latest version of the Mystcraft-based (eternal day, Meadow single biome, flat) frame quarry.

I haven't figured out a good design for overworld frame quarries that are protected against falling blocks or liquids from above, so this must do for now.
