When i wanted to find a rotten flesh to leather mod/datapack, there were a lot of ways to get that.. but most of them were either unupdated, or not having the right thing when doing it the right way. That's why i decided to make this datapack. It's easily usable on recent versions, and updated regularly.
With that, i'm adding more crafts for this datapack!
What does it bring? This datapack brings 4 ways to get a basic rotten flesh - leather conversion, turn gravel to sand and more upcoming!
What are the ways? You have a classic smelting way (slow), a craftable way (fast) but takes 4 flesh to make a single leather, a smokable version (kinda fast) and a campfire cookable version (productive). That's just the rotten flesh!
Why should i get it? This datapack is always to the latest version, making your experience constant!
How to support? We're making a global GitHub for all our projects, so you don't need to find your way to all our mods! You can also post issues, support us and maybe even be part of our group one day!
