Just Another Rotten Flesh to Leather Mod

by 456Xander

Rotten flesh becomes leather in Just Another Rotten Flesh to Leather Mod, either by smelting it directly or through a prepared flesh step, depending on the hardMode option.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.15 – 1.21.8

What it does

Two recipe paths are available. With the default setup, rotten flesh smelted in a furnace or smoker yields one leather per item. When hardMode is enabled, rotten flesh is first crafted into prepared flesh, and only the prepared flesh can then be smelted into leather. The hardMode option is available only on the Forge and NeoForge builds, while the Fabric build uses the simpler recipe.

The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files cover 1.15 – 1.21.8 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with 1.10.0 as the latest release for 1.21.8.

Key features

  1. Direct smelting

    A single item of spoiled flesh can be cooked in a furnace or a smoker, yielding one leather per item processed.

  2. Prepared flesh step

    With hardMode on, rotten flesh is crafted into prepared flesh first, which then smelts into leather.

  3. Furnace and smoker support

    Both the furnace and the smoker accept the recipes, so either block can handle the conversion.
