About this Mod
Hello! and welcome to the alpha version of this mod!
A little about the mod...
Leather Plus adds a slight difficulty to the game by changing all tool recipes to require a new item called leather straps!
It also adds the ability to craft saddles using steel, leather, and leather straps
Leather straps can be crafted in two ways. Using a flint knife, or using a Strap Cutter.

Leather Plus server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Leather Plus compatible with forge?
Leather Plus officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Leather Plus – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Leather Plus consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
