More Leather

A Fabric mod that makes leather more accessible and useful by renaming/reskinning rabbit hide into "Leather Scraps," adding a decorative Block of Leather, and adding a wide set of data-driven recipes for turning leather items into scraps and back.

Features

Renamed Item

• Rabbit Hide → Leather Scraps (name and texture overridden for Pandorical clients; see below)
• The vanilla recipe still works: 4 Leather Scraps = 1 Leather

Block of Leather

• Craft 9 leather into a decorative Block of Leather (leather roll)
• Directional placement like logs
• Decompresses back to 9 leather

Deconstruction Recipes

Break down leather items into scraps (shapeless crafting):

Item	→ Scraps
Leather Helmet	15
Leather Chestplate	24
Leather Leggings	21
Leather Boots	12
Leather Horse Armor	21
Leather	4
Book	3
Item Frame	3
Glow Item Frame	3

• Leather Horse Armor: 7 leather

Smelting Recipes

• Rotten Flesh → Leather Scraps (furnace or smoker, 0.1 XP)

Animal/Mob Leather Drops

Animals and undead drop leather and/or leather scraps on death, and fishing junk turns up 1-2 scraps half the time.

Animal	Leather	Scraps
Cat, Ocelot, Fox, Wolf	0-1	0-2
Pig, Sheep, Goat	0-1	1-3
Strider	0-1	1-2
Polar Bear, Panda, Sniffer	1-2	1-3
Camel	1-2	1-2
Cow, Horse, Donkey, Mule, Llama, Trader Llama	vanilla	1-2
Mooshroom, Hoglin	vanilla	2-4
Ravager	2-3	2-4
Bat	—	0-1
Zombie, Drowned, Zombie Villager	—	0-1
Husk	—	0-2

A zombie, husk, drowned, zombie villager, skeleton, stray, wither skeleton, piglin or zombified piglin wearing leather armour drops extra scraps for each piece worn: helmet 4, chestplate 6, leggings 5, boots 3.

Learning It

Rotten flesh cooks down into hide. That is the best idea here and it is invisible: a furnace gives no hint what it will accept, and the thing every player has too much of is the last thing anyone would think to put in one.

With village-quests installed, a leatherworker teaches the trade in five lessons, in the order somebody would need them: four scraps (what the unit is), four leather got without killing anything (where the trick is said out loud), a book (what is already made of hide), a pair of leather boots unpicked in front of you for twelve scraps (what unpicking costs), and last a full block of leather. Nine leather is past the point where "there is another way to get this" stops being trivia. Graduating leaves you a block of leather to keep.

Optional and guarded: without village-quests the mod behaves exactly as before.

Pandorical

More Leather registers the Block of Leather's block/item models and renames + reskins vanilla rabbit hide into "Leather Scraps" through Pandorical's content sync, including overrideVanillaItem for the rabbit hide rename.

The Pandorical mod must be installed client-side to see the Block of Leather rendered and the "Leather Scraps" name/texture on rabbit hide. Without it, the underlying items and recipes still work, but a connecting client sees vanilla names/textures (e.g. "Rabbit Hide" instead of "Leather Scraps") and the Block of Leather may not render correctly.
