Burning Flesh: rotten flesh is a fuel
I don't know my version or loader

Burning Flesh
Features
Burning Flesh is a Minecraft datapack that lets you use rotten flesh as a furnace fuel.
The noxious flesh can be burned in the furnace, and smoker, with the same cooking time as a stick.
Rationale
The rotten flesh in Minecraft is essentially a junk item with no real use. Even as a villager trading item, it is weak, as it requires a lot of clicks to get anywhere.
Many datapacks propose to smelt the rotten flesh into leather. This is however in my opinion overpowered, and removes the incentive to have a cow or zogglin farming operation.
This datapack intends to provide a balanced, yet useful alternative.
