Precision Knapping

Precision Knapping:
Adds precision mechanics to the knapping system. Hit the wrong spot and destroy your work.

What It Does:
When knapping tools, clicking on any part of the final tool shape (the actual arrowhead, knife, or spearhead pattern) will break the stone and waste your materials.

You must carefully chip away only the excess stone around the pattern.

This turns knapping from a simple task into a precision exercise that punishes those who defy the will of the universe.

Features:
- Works with all knapping recipes automatically
- Audio when you break the stone
- Chat Feedback for Mistakes
- Config File added in 1.1.0
- Adjust "MistakeCount" to make this Mod more forgiving
- "EnableDurabilityScaling": false, to not loose / gain Durability
- Advanced Mode (Default Off)

• Realistic Fracture System: Clicking interior voxels causes cone-shaped fracture patterns based on real flint knapping physics (Hertzian cone)
• Durability Penalties: In Advanced Mode, mistakes reduce the durability of crafted tool heads
• Edge Enforcement: Advanced Mode requires working mostly from edges inward, like real knapping

Roadmap:
Particles on Break / Hit
Custom Soundeffects ?
Tweaking Advanced Mode
Colour Overlay which Showcases Fracturing Possibilites for Learning

Philosophy:
There was no Mod out there trying to tweak Knapping to be harder - I felt the Gameplay didnt reflect how if you dont know how to knap, and dont focus, you can still do fine.
In Reallife - There is alot of logical hitting and precision involved. This Mod aims to emulate this a little.
