About this Mod
Tired of having to find cows, breed them, and then wait for the baby cows to grow up before you can get leather? Tire no more with Shear Cows! This adds functionality to shear the cow for its leather directly, similar to shearing a sheep for wool. The sheared cows will eventually eat grass to restore their skin so you can shear them again!

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Shear Cows consumes the most tick time.
