Leathered Boots
by Crystal Nest
Leathered Boots lets players swap an existing armor boot for a leather version that keeps full protection while changing how the wearer moves over powdered snow.
What it does
Leathered Boots adds a leather boot to the game. Leather versions of the vanilla boots gain the ability to walk safely across powdered snow without sinking or freezing, which the vanilla boots do not offer. Existing armor boots can be upgraded into leather ones, and the protection of the original boot is kept.
Leathered boots can be dyed in any color by combining them with dye, and the color can be removed again by right-clicking a water cauldron. Loot is spread through igloos, snowy villages, outposts, shipwrecks, trail ruins and frozen biomes, and leatherworkers sell them as trades. From Minecraft 1.20 on, the mod also adds a trim and a smithing template for the boots, and vanilla advancements such as Suit Up and Oh Shiny count leathered boots as well.
Leathered Boots requires Cobweb, and Fabric API is required on Fabric. Both sides need the mod to be installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds, 6.1.1, cover 1.21.10. The license is a custom license, and the mod is not open source.
