Rotten Leather +
by OctopusDoBop
Rotten Leather + makes leather renewable by cooking rotten flesh in a campfire, furnace or smoker.
What it does
Rotten flesh can be cooked in a campfire, furnace or smoker to produce leather, which gives players a steady source of the material without hunting for cows. The mod is also packaged as a data pack, so it runs on vanilla Minecraft servers. Server owners install it once, and players join without needing anything extra. The environment is server required, with the client optional, and the files target 1.21.8 – 1.21.10 on Fabric, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. Rotten Leather + is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
