Recycle Rotten Meat

by InterestingMods

Recycle Rotten Meat is a NeoForge food mod that turns rotten flesh from zombies into leather through a smoke oven or a campfire.

NeoForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.4

What it does

Rotten flesh dropped by zombies can be heated in the mod's smoke oven to produce leather, a conversion vanilla Minecraft does not offer. A campfire can also bake the flesh, so players without the oven can still get leather. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.4, with 1.0.0 as the latest build released on 2025-06-30. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
