from bad to good

by ArthurOrsi

From Bad to Good adds a furnace recipe that turns rotten flesh into leather, useful where cows are scarce.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.12.2 – 26.2

What it does

Placing rotten flesh in a furnace produces leather after smelting, so players who lack cows can still obtain the material for books and other leather recipes. The conversion uses the standard furnace, with no extra block or machine. Environment: server-side only, so only the server needs the mod and players join without installing it. Released under All rights reserved, not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest Fabric file for 26.2.

Key features

  1. Rotten flesh smelting

    Rotten flesh placed in a furnace is converted into leather through a new smelting recipe.

  2. Leather without cows

    The recipe gives a leather source for players in worlds where cattle are rare.

  3. Standard furnace use

    The conversion runs in the vanilla furnace, so no separate block needs to be crafted.
