What it does

Rotten flesh, a drop that is usually discarded, can be smelted in a furnace, blast furnace or smoker to produce leather. That gives the item a use in the early game, where leather armor is otherwise tedious to gather, and it can also be used for crafting books for librarians. The mod runs on both client and server, so server owners and players both need it, and it requires Fabric API. Files exist for Fabric 1.20.1 only, the latest being 1.0.0 from 2025-05-26, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and open source.

A simple mod that allows you to smelt rotten flesh into leather at furnaces and smokers, giving a new use to an otherwise commonly thrown away item, making the librarian book grind more interesting while being less tedious, and making early-game leather armor a reasonably obtainable option.
