More Leather
by justfatlard
More Leather changes how leather is obtained and spent, adding leather scraps, decorative leather blocks and a set of data-driven recipes on Fabric.
What it does
Rotten flesh, several mobs and wearing leather armour can yield leather scraps, which the mod uses as a second unit of leather. Four scraps make one leather, and a furnace or smoker turns rotten flesh into a leather item. Leather can also be decompressed back into scraps, so nine leather returns to nine leather items' worth of material through the scrap loop. The vanilla recipe for leather still works alongside the new ones.
The mod adds a decorative Block Leather that can be placed with directional orientation like a log, plus recipes for saddles and Leather Horse Armor. Villagers can teach a leatherworker trade. Animal leather drops are returned, and Rabbit Hide is included in the scrap system. The mod is server-side only and runs with Fabric API, which it requires; it is published for 1.21.11 and 26.3, and the code is released under the MIT License.
