FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution 4.01.18 – 1.18.2

What it does

Foxes, wolves, ocelots and bats can drop hide, and rotten flesh can yield leather in a balanced way, so leather is less dependent on cows. The crafting recipe for leather is changed to use hide. The original bundle recipe is restored, and wool can be unpacked into strings.

The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it for the same features. It is a Mobs mod that also falls under Equipment, Utility and Game mechanics, with a data pack available for server platforms. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.18 – 1.18.2. The code is not open source; the license is Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.

Key features

  1. Hide drops from animals

    Foxes, wolves, ocelots and bats can drop hide, adding a new source of leather from mobs.

  2. Rotten flesh to leather

    Rotten flesh can produce leather, giving players an alternative route to the material.

  3. Original bundle recipe

    The bundle returns to its original recipe, which uses hide to make it easier to obtain.

  4. Unpacking wool

    Wool can be unpacked into strings, and a few further recipes revolve around leather.
