Slowcraft

Slowcraft is a library mod for creating SlowTools: progressive-crafting items inspired by the Knitting system from Better Than Wolves and the Polishing system from the Create mod.

SlowTools are intermediary items. The player holds right-click to advance a progress bar represented by the item's durability. When the progress completes, the SlowTool is consumed and its configured outputs are given to the player. SlowTools retain their progress when stopped, so you can whittle away through the night.
