Leather Plus

by PotterPlaysGames

Leather Plus is a Forge food and crafting mod for 1.20.1 that changes how leather is turned into saddles and tools, and it is still in its alpha phase.

What it does

Leather Plus adds leather straps as a new intermediate item. Players can make straps in two ways: by cutting leather with a flint knife, or by using a Strap Cutter. Several tool recipes that once used only leather now call for the straps, which adds a small step to crafting. Saddles can be crafted from steel and leather straps, so saddles are no longer a simple leather recipe.

The author describes the project as alpha. Only a few blocks and items exist so far, and the author plans to reach a beta phase after meeting goals for stability and for avoiding game-breaking behavior. The author notes that the mod is updated often and that new features and support for other mods are being added. Curios API is an optional dependency, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.
