📋 About This Mod

Would everyone be interested in a custom crafting menu for this mod, I have figured out how to make my own menu for my items which would cut down on lag and overcrowding. Only thing is it would be craft able only from your inventory (through a special item) and would have a single tiny script that would run when you click on said item. Looking for actual feedback. Yes? No? Please post in thread.

Currently in game:

Bear Claw Cloaks: 9 Bear Hoods: 9 Armored Light Bear Hoods: 9 Armored Heavy Bear Hoods: 9

Wolf Skin Cloaks: 12 Wolf Skin Hoods: 15 Armored Light Wolf Skin Hoods: 15 Armored Heavy Wolf Skin Hoods: 15

All items work with all vanilla races, genders and can be found, bought or even crafted in game at the tanning rack. Armored items can be tempered and both hoods and cloaks can be enchanted as well.

WIC is fully compatible with Frostfall 3. 3. 1+ and with the legacy 2. 6 version.

======== Crafting ========

To craft any of the items in WIC you MUST first have a Fur Crafting Kit, you can either craft the Fur Crafting Kit at the Tanning Rack or you can try and buy them from a merchant. Without a Fur Crafting Kit NO items will appear in the crafting menu, this is to help cut back on recipe clutter. When you are done crafting your cloaks or hoods, just store t
