Flesh to Leather
Flesh to Leather is a Fabric server mod that adds two recipes turning rotten flesh into leather through a furnace, campfire or smoker.
What it does
Rotten flesh becomes leather in a furnace, on a campfire or in a smoker, which adds two new recipes to the game. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, and the latest file, 1.0.2, targets 1.20.4 and dates from 2024-03-04. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Furnace recipe
Smelting rotten flesh in a furnace yields leather, giving a new use for a common mob drop.
Campfire and smoker recipes
Cooking rotten flesh on a campfire or in a smoker produces leather as well, so the two extra recipes cover both methods.
Minimal scope
The mod adds only these two recipes and no new items, blocks or code beyond what they need.

This mod adds 2 new recipes and nothing more! No unnecessary code or bloat! Rotten flesh can be smelted or cooked at a campfire into leather, but not smoked! It didn't make sense to me, it's not food:P
