+*   No longer overrides item, instead creates recipes (should be more future proof for patches and changes.)

+# Handcraft Life Essence
+
+## Description
+
+This mod allows you to hand craft (pocket craft) Life Essence and Greater Life Essence in your inventory crafting menu. Simple QoL mod for farmers and explorers.
+
+## Reasons you need this mod:
+
+*   You have large fields of crops and have to keep running back to the Farmers Workbench to craft Greater Life Essence to save room.
+*   You want to convert essence while trading with Kweebeks.
+*   You want to craft just the Life Essence in your inventory using the ALL button without pulling from any storage.
+*   You want to craft Greater Life Essence while exploring to save inventory space.
+
+## Compatibility
+*   Does not override any vanilla assets (Creates separate Recipe assets)
