Rotten Flesh To Leather
by Tia
Rotten Flesh To Leather lets players turn rotten flesh into leather in a furnace, smoker or campfire, with experience granted for each smelt.
What it does
Rotten flesh becomes leather through the three standard cooking blocks. A furnace takes 200 ticks (10 seconds) per item and grants experience, a smoker takes 100 ticks (5 seconds), and a campfire takes 600 ticks (30 seconds). Each block also grants its own experience amount, so the choice of block changes both speed and reward.
The smoker and campfire recipes are available only in version 4.0.0 and later of the mod, so older builds offer the furnace recipe alone. Rotten Flesh To Leather is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge and cover 1.19.4 – 26.2, with Forge's latest file at 2.0.0 for 1.20.1.
The content is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source. Its latest Fabric and NeoForge files, 10.0.0 and 7.0.0, both target 26.2 and date from 2026-06-16, and snapshot builds are published.
