Cutting Scythes

Description
Summary
This mod adds the ability for scythes to cut grass and other shrubs.

Simply attack while holding a scythe then the grass you are standing on and the grass directly in front of your character will be removed.

In addition to this:

- Maintenance skill experience from removing grass and shrubs.
- Chance of durability loss on the scythe when you remove grass and shrubs which is reduced with higher maintenance skill.

Multiplayer
Approved to be working in 41.65!

Compatibility
Should work seamlessly with all mods, it simply watches events for the item "HandScythe".

Old Savegames
This mod will work with worlds that have already been started.

Permissions
I give all permissions for anyone to take and modify as they see fit. Also for anyone to reupload the mod for upgrades, tweeks or compatibility fixes.

Is it possible to make this also cut the tiny shrubs that grow on the grass too? To return it to normal short grass? The overgrowth plants that show up on the grass are so annoying for farming/aesthetic reasons. There is no mod or fix other than replacing the tile with normal grass with admin command brush tool, but that isn't fun or immersive and won't help down the line when these tiny shrubs and stuff grow back.

@Wild Witch of the West
Yes, feel free to take the mod and make any changes you wish. You can also reupload with your fixes.
The durability code was a clone of what i found somewhere else from project zomboid methods, but i think i configured it wrong.
Goodluck!

Do you mind if I tweak the settings for my server so that it doesn't drain durability so fast and reupload it unlisted for my server only?

Can we get a version of this that works on the grass added from 10 years later mod?

the maintenance function is just for the scythe or when you cut grass abd shrubs with anything that cuts?

Cool mod but can I change how many squares at a time this hits and can I change durability? Hitting 5 squares then breaking is not realistic. Regardless of skill.
