Rot-to-Hide
by StateBros
Rot-to-Hide lets players turn rotten flesh into leather by placing it in a furnace, smoker, campfire or soul campfire, so a common drop becomes a usable material.
What it does
Rotten flesh can be processed in a smelting furnace, smoker, standard campfire or soul campfire to produce leather. Up to four pieces can be placed on a campfire at once, and the curing is slow, which keeps the conversion from being instant. The mod is built for Forge on 1.20.1 and is published as a data pack too. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. Rot-to-Hide is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
