Mycelium Leather
by nieslregen
Mycelium Leather is a Fabric utility mod that adds a second way to obtain leather ink, so that passive mobs do not have to be harmed.
What it does
The mod adds a set of new mobs and items tied to mushroom biomes. Crawlers spawn mainly in mushroom isles and appear alongside beaches, falling asleep at night and changing their appearance to match the biome they last slept in. Shearing an overgrown crawler drops grass, mushrooms, mycelium blocks and iron nuggets, and podzol or salt can come from beach areas.
Shroom Hens are a chicken variant that can be bred, though two of them cannot breed with one another. Breeding two Shroom Hens requires truffles, and a hen may build a nest from a Mycelium Block that a player can take the egg from by right-clicking it. The defending hen will chase the thief until the egg is returned. Muffles are small squirrels that live among Huge Blue Mushrooms and sometimes dig up truffles, the only way to get that item; two Muffles with a Shroom Hen egg can be bred.
Crafting covers the new content: Soot Ink, Charcoal Pile, Tiny Cauldron and the Herbarium Press recipe. Mycelium Leather enables recipes that require Leather, and Soot Ink enables recipes that require Ink. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is published for Fabric only, across the 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3 game versions, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
