About this Mod

Extra Steps

Experience a slow start as animals no longer drop wool or leather in their usual form. Sheep now provide Crumbled or Raw Wool and cows yield Cow Rawhide. Most vanilla animals gain their own version of Rawhide, and if other mods add animals that would drop leather, these drops are replaced with a generic Rawhide, keeping the system consistent. Even Paper can no longer be crafted directly through the vanilla recipe.

Processing leather, wool and paper has never been more involved. Through scriping, washing, drying, brushing, compressing and mixing, every step of the production chain becomes meaningful and engaging.

Roadmap
Note: Version 1.2.0 also introduces a production chain for Sugar Cane -> Paper. The Roadmap will be updated soon

Dyeing & Mixing

During the washing process, you can optionally add colors, allowing you to create dyed wool and leather armor. The possibilities are nearly limitless, as colors can be mixed to achieve virtually any shade you imagine.

Colorful and Responsive

Leather armor can be customized with your chosen colors and wool blocks can be placed in the world in your personally crafted shades.

Customisation

All Recipes (Scraping, Cleaning & Dyeing, Drying, Brushing, Compressing & Mixing) are datapack driven and therefore expandable following this wiki
