Rotten Flesh to Leather

by faker

Rotten Flesh to Leather converts spare rotten flesh into leather through the smoker, and into brown dye through the furnace, without new items to learn.

What it does

Players who collect rotten flesh from zombies can process it in a smoker to get leather, or in a furnace to get brown dye. The recipes are added as plain vanilla-style entries, so no new blocks or menus appear. The mod is server required and client optional: the server needs it to run the recipes, while players may leave it out. Files cover Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a Data pack build is also available. Game versions 1.19 – 26.3 are listed, and the latest file is 26.2-26.3+mod for 26.3. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Rotten flesh to leather

    Smoking rotten flesh produces leather, turning a common drop into a material crafters often need.

  2. Rotten flesh to brown dye

    Smelting rotten flesh produces brown dye, so the drop has a second use without extra steps.

  3. Vanilla-style recipes

    Both conversions use standard furnace-type recipes, keeping the change small and simple to follow.
