Scrap Leather
by daenvil
Scrap Leather lets players craft leather armor, saddles and other leather items from recipes that use leather as an ingredient.
What it does
The mod adds recipes that turn leather into leather chestplates, leggings, horse armor, a ghast harness and other leather items, each using two pieces of leather. Helmets, boots, a saddle and a bundle need one piece each. Books, item frames and a few other items are craftable from a single piece of leather, and one leather can be made from four rabbit hides.
Leather is a common drop from cows, horses and rabbits, and much of it usually goes unused. The recipes give that loot a purpose by letting players recycle items into more useful ones. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is also available as a data pack. The server needs the mod, while the client may add it. Files are published for 26.3 across 12 release versions, 1.21.5 – 26.3, under All rights reserved; the code is not open source.
Key features
Leather armor recipes
Chestplates, leggings, helmets and boots are craftable from leather, giving a use for animal drops.
Saddle and horse armor
Saddles, horse armor and a ghast harness can be crafted from leather, so mounts and travel gear become reachable earlier.
Single-piece crafts
Books, item frames and a bundle use only one leather, which makes small crafts quick to gather for.
Rabbit hide conversion
Four rabbit hides combine into one leather, so rabbit drops feed the same recipe chain.
