Leftover bones
Leftover bones adds a food-side way to get bones: chicken and fish no longer drop bones that vanish, and fish bones can be crafted into bonemeal.
What it does
Bones from chicken and fish stay on the ground after a player eats them, so bones can be collected from ordinary meals without hunting skeletons. Fish bones can also be crafted into bonemeal. It is client and server, so the server and every player install it. Files target 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and Fabric Language Kotlin is required on Fabric.
Key features
Bones that stay after eating
Bones from chicken and fish no longer disappear once the meal is eaten, so they can be gathered later.
Bonemeal from fish bones
Fish bones can be crafted into bonemeal, adding a second use for the bones this mod keeps.
Bones without skeletons
Players get a new source of bones from everyday food, so skeleton hunting is not the only option.
