Do crafting recipes that require spears or electrical doodads make you lose sanity irl? Then this mod is for you! This mod improves the functionality of the crafting menu.

Current features (configurable): - craft deeper sub-ingredients with the craft ingredient function (for example, rope for ice staffs) - display the name of the ingredient that will be crafted, if its name is short enough - display the amount of an item that will be crafted from the recipe - holding to craft only requires a single click - use the last used skin when crafting ingredients - crafting ingredients unpauses the game when "crafting auto-pause" is enabled - use alternate recipes (for example wilson's transmutation) when crafting ingredients - craft ingredients even for recipes you don't know yet - unequip ingredients like spears, pickaxes etc to use for crafting by using the craft button

Planned features: - use the crafting button to put sculpting materials on the potter's wheel - use the crafting button to walk to the correct research station

Known bugs (I will try to fix them as soon as I can): - when using the hold to craft feature or spam clicking crafting too fast, sometimes you might craft 1 more of an ingredient than is needed - in some specific scenarios the text on the button can bleed out from the intended button area (purely cosmetic)

If you encounter any issues, please let me know in the bug reports discussion page! (providing the crash report where relevant will make it much easier)
