by Stormwindsky

Rotten Flesh Now Useful lets players cook Rotten Flesh into an edible food and turn it into leather at a crafting table.

ForgeClient and serverMIT-01.20.1

What it does

Rotten Flesh, a drop that is normally of little use, can be cooked in a furnace to produce Cooked Flesh, which players can eat. A second recipe converts Rotten Flesh into leather at a crafting table. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its only published build is a Forge file for 1.20.1, released on 2026-07-13 under the MIT-0 License, and the code is available as a public source repository.

Key features

  1. Smelting Rotten Flesh

    Rotten Flesh can be smelted in a furnace, producing Cooked Flesh as an edible item.

  2. Leather from Rotten Flesh

    A crafting table recipe transforms Rotten Flesh into leather, giving the drop a second use.

  3. Small, focused scope

    The mod changes only these two recipes and leaves the rest of the game's food and crafting unchanged.

What the author says

This little mod allows you to cook Rotten Flesh and make it edible, and with the Cooked Flesh you have the choice of transforming it into Leather in the craft table. Of course you can, you don't even have to ask for my permission & also no need to credit me:)
