Butcher's Delight
by OnuaDan
With Butcher's Delight, animal carcasses become a step in meat processing, with butchering, campfire cooking and by-products for six kinds of livestock.
What it does
Carcasses are placed on any solid block. A player then uses a cleaver, meaning any item with the Knife tag, and right-clicks until the process level is complete, which takes 10 clicks. Each carcass can be cut into smaller parts in up to 3 steps. Cow, sheep, goat, pig, hoglin and llama are the accepted animals.
A campfire of any type cooks carcasses of cow, sheep, goat and pig. Once cooked, a right click with the hand takes the meat. Chicken and rabbit are planned. The mod also gives chickens and striders a use: shears pluck a chicken for extra feathers, and shears on a strider yield string. Skins and fur go into a rack, where shears produce further items.
The mod is Forge only, for 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.20.12.1.0 as the latest file for 1.20.1. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Butcher's Delight Foods and Farmer's Delight are optional dependencies. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.

The goal is to include all animals that could be considered livestock…
