Craftable Leather
by StaticLabs
Craftable Leather lets players turn Rotten Flesh into leather through a simple smelting recipe, so leather no longer depends on finding cows.
What it does
Rotten Flesh, collected from zombies and husks, can be refined into high-quality leather in a furnace-style process. A flesh crafting table is added to the mod, and leather is retrieved from it once the curing step is done. The result is a logical tanning process for vanilla Minecraft, aimed at players who have chests overflowing with Rotten Flesh and struggle to find enough cows for enchanting.
The mod adds new items and a small set of machines, and it is framed as a lightweight vanilla-plus utility that fits the survival loop. Dried Kelp Jerky is added as a food that fills the same niche as leather. Players need Simple Integration only if they want the integration it offers. Craftable Leather works server-side, and the server must run it, while clients may leave it out. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.20 – 26.1.1, and it is also available as a data pack for servers that prefer that route. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
