Trapper Pelts
Trapper Pelts adds bear traps that hunters place around a base, and the leather or rabbit hides they yield to players who keep warm through cold winter nights.
What it does
Players craft bear traps and set them on the ground around a base. A trap waits through a short grace period, about four seconds longer on a lagging server, before it snaps shut on any entity that steps into it. A trap that triggers deals notable damage to the entity caught, and a trap that has gone off can be reset by right-clicking it a few times.
The mod gives hunting a reason to matter in colder biomes, since leather is the main material for staying warm. A bear trap kills the entity it catches and drops either rabbit hides or leather, depending on the mob type, with the amount varying randomly. Traps can be destroyed by attacking them, so they need to be placed carefully and rebuilt when damaged.
Trapper Pelts requires Fabric API on Fabric. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the mod is released under the MIT License, with its source code public.
