Shear Cows
Shear Cows lets players take leather from cows with shears, in the same way sheep yield wool.
What it does
Shears used on a cow yield leather directly, so players no longer have to breed cows and wait for calves to grow before collecting it. A sheared cow eventually eats grass and regrows its hide, after which it can be sheared again. Shear Cows is open source under the MIT License and needs both the server and every player. Fabric is the only loader with files, for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1.
Key features
Shearing for leather
Shears used on a cow drop leather, matching the way shears already produce wool from sheep.
Regrowing hide
A sheared cow grows its hide back after it eats grass, so it can be sheared repeatedly.
No breeding required
Leather no longer depends on breeding cows and raising calves, which saves time in farm setups.
