Logical Leaf Litter

by RME

Logical Leaf Litter changes how leaf litter behaves in smelting and cooking, so leaves can be smelted into dry leaf litter for use in recipes.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCustom license1.21.5 – 1.21.8

What it does

Logical Leaf Litter makes smelting leaves produce smoking dry leaf litter instead of the usual result, which gives the item a more logical place in crafting. The leaf litter is then listed with the cooking recipes, where players look for food ingredients. Server owners need the mod installed, and players may add it on their client. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering game versions 1.21.5 – 1.21.8 under a custom license that is not open source.

Key features

  1. Smelting into dry leaf litter

    Smelting leaves yields dry leaf litter in a furnace-type block, replacing the default leaf-to-smoking result.

  2. Cooking category placement

    Leaf litter is grouped with cooking ingredients, so it sits alongside the recipes it belongs to.

  3. Early game access

    The change makes the item reachable early in progression, since leaves are gathered before most cooking setups exist.

What the author says

Simple as that. I made this while I was cooking dinner. I like the fact it makes a little more sense than smelting, and I guess it makes it a bit more worth to find them very early game.
