Features

This datapack adds the following recipes:

  • Leather chestplates, leggings, and horse armor ⇒ 2 pieces of leather each.
  • Leather helmets, boots, saddle, and bundle ⇒ 1 piece of leather each.
  • Any books and item frames ⇒ 1 piece of leather for each 4 items.
  • 1 leather ⇒ 4 rabbit hides

Now you can recycle those items to craft more useful ones!

Considerations

  • The leather ⇒ rabbit hides recipe is supposed to help craft a bundle if you only have leather, plus it makes sense that you can just tear apart a piece of leather in smaller pieces.
