Update

I have finished the mod. not 100% as planned but pretty close. I know cattail root and Papyrus root can be turned into flour. was not sure which flour type best matched so i guessed. Please feel free to share your feedback. Trying to give flowers and plants more uses. Certain plants where used for making rope. This was based on research. Certain plants are strong enough to make natural rope. Also certain plants have healing so ... some of the soups have healing properties. Wicker is a style of weaving. So I wanted to bring out the beauty of the plants in the wicker baskets. Mashed recopies use an axe to "mash" the item. Tried to get wooden mallet working but ran into issues. Maybe in future ill get it working and add it. All things in mod pack should be reachable by stone age or early chopper age.
