Smelted Flesh

by HotdogbunandK

Smelted Flesh lets players smelt rotten flesh in a furnace to get leather, a change to a common vanilla recipe.

ForgeServer-side onlyMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Rotten flesh, which mobs drop often, can be processed in a furnace and returns leather as the result. The conversion is handled on the server, so only the server needs the mod installed. Players connecting to it do not have to add anything to their game.

The mod is published for Forge only, with a single 1.0.0 file built for 1.20.1 and released on 2025-12-17. It is released under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Furnace smelting

    Rotten flesh placed in a furnace yields leather, giving a use for flesh collected from zombies.

  2. Server-side handling

    The recipe change runs on the server, so players join without installing anything on their own game.

  3. Leather return

    Smelting rotten flesh returns leather, which can be used in the crafting recipes that call for it.
