Versions 2.1.4 and above require airbreathercore 1.0.1 or higher.
1.7.10 note: YALSM used to bundle its own older version of airbreathercore until I cleaned it up when updating to MC 1.8, so things won't explode if you don't install airbreathercore separately, but it will be slightly slower. If you have airbreathercore 1.0.0 because of Pig Manure, definitely update to 1.0.0a using the below link.

What This Mod Does
Adds a crafting recipe that allows you to craft 5x Rotten Flesh into 1x Patchwork Flesh, and a smelting recipe that allows you to smelt Patchwork Flesh into Leather. Experience gained from smelting is 0.35, equivalent to cooking raw beef into steak.

The ID of Patchwork Flesh is configurable in 1.6.4 versions, of course, using YALSM.cfg that gets created in your config folder. It defaults to 9753 (thanks random.org!).

Also optionally (disabled by default) adds a single smelting recipe that allows you to smelt Rotten Flesh directly into Leather. Experience gained from smelting is the minimum allowed (0.1, same as Cobblestone --> Stone). Turn this on in YALSM.cfg if you want it.


How to Install
Install Forge (tested with 9.11.1.953 for 1.6.4, 10.12.0.1024 for 1.7.2, 10.13.0.1159 for 1.7.10, and 11.14.0.1299 for 1.8), then drop the .jar file into "mods" in your .minecraft folder. This is pretty standard stuff -- look around for tutorials if you're confused.


General Notes
I noticed that EpicBlargh's Rotten Flesh to Leather mod hasn't been updated past 1.5.2 for the simple version or 1.6.2 for the "hardcore" version. I liked that mod, so I figured I might as well try out Minecraft modding myself to see how hard it would really be.

The initial result, after about an hour or two: YALSM, or Yet Another Leather Smelting Mod.

It's open-source (BSD 2-clause). Source code is on https://github.com/airbreather/YALSM.

Changelog

• 2.1.7: Fixed #6 so this will work on Forge builds 2189 and above.
• 2.1.6: Updates to work around a from a less advertised 2.1.5 for 1.9 that Forge build 1805 may have broken. Also, apparently this works with 1.10.2. Tested with Forge build 2011.
• 2.1.5: Whoops, 2.1.4 had a file in the wrong folder, so the texture was missing.
• 2.1.4: Updated for 1.8, Forge 11.14.0.1299. Now requires airbreathercore to be distributed separately, to avoid load order / versioning issues.
• 2.1.3: Updating the mappings for Forge 10.12.0.1024, and doing everything in pre-initialization.
• 2.1.2: Updating the version of airbreathercore so this works with the latest version of YAFM... I guess I've gotta deal with that for real sometime.
• 2.1.1: Updated the forge version and fixed mcmod.info. One or both of those makes it so that saved Patchwork Flesh items from 1.6.4 worlds persist on the 1.7 side.
• 2.1.0: Updated to the beta version of Forge for 1.7.2. mcmod.info won't work, and FML doesn't yet appear to be able to load saved Patchwork Flesh items from 1.6.4, so be mindful when updating an old world on this version.
• 2.0.3: Like 2.0.0 --> 2.0.1, no functional changes from 2.0.2. If you have 2.0.2, there's no reason you should need to update to 2.0.3. Just behind-the-scenes changes to better design the fix that was done in 2.0.2 for reusability, and other miscellaneous cleanups.
• 2.0.2: Added support for globalization of the "Patchwork Flesh" item name. Also preliminary considerations for 1.7 forwards-compatibility.

• 2.0.1: No functional changes. If you have 2.0.0, then there's no technical reason you should need to update to 2.0.1. Most of the code in YALSM was copied out into a submodule "airbreathercore" that I'm also leveraging for YAFM, so this is just changing the original source to make use of that.
• 2.0.0: Added a more balanced "Patchwork Flesh" version of this. 1x "Patchwork Flesh" can be smelted into leather, and each "Patchwork Flesh" is created by putting 5x Rotten Flesh in an "X" pattern in the crafting grid.
• The simple 1x Rotten Flesh --> 1x Leather smelting recipe can be restored through the new YALSM.cfg file.
• 1.0.0: Fixed an issue with rotten flesh that rendered it nearly useless.

Quote from Minecraftthing

I suggest making some sort of Item you craft with rotten flesh, or when you smelt rotten flesh it makes like a 'fragment' of leather and get 4 or 9 of it to craft a leather. Otherwise it just becomes a bit overpowered.

Quote from AiryBreath

Yeah, 1 Rotten Flesh --> Leather isn't really a great balance. From a coding perspective, it's a lot quicker to do it this way, so that's how I started it out. I think it's a better balance to craft "Patchwork Flesh" like ("X" = Rotten Flesh):
X . X
. X .
X . X

and then smelt 1 Patchwork Flesh to 1 Leather, maybe bumping up the exp reward to be equal to cooking steak. Now that I have working code, it looks easy enough to add.

Quote from Tomato_Dog

Thanks a lot for this mate, I like the idea of the patchwork flesh --> Leather with a higher xp drop as its a bit more balanced, as well as more consuming.

Quote from Keybounce

So, is "rotten flesh smelting" now the "hello world" of minecraft modding?

Quote from Zandorum

Could you add a step so its like this?:
5 Rotten Flesh -> Patchwork Flesh
Patchwork Flesh, Bonemeal -> Treated Patchwork Flesh
Treated Patchwork Flesh -> Leather

Also hes a hardcore version of that:
Rotten Flesh, Bonemeal -> Treated Rotten Flesh
5 Treated Rotten Flesh -> Patchwork Flesh
Patchwork Flesh -> Leather

Do you think this could become a thing? I feel like it would be a nice extra step for people who want a little more challenge to this so it doesn't feel like cheating because right now it feels a bit like cheating to me but that's just personal.

Quote from Magician_DC

What a great mod u have here. I just love it. With the new patchwork flesh, would u consider it to be a recipe for chainmail armor? For example, a V-shape recipe using Flint and patchwork flesh:

P_P
_F_


Where P=patchwork flesh and F=Flint

with that, you get chains to make your chainmail armor. Or maybe you can add a new armor, a hardened leather armor:

P_P
_L_
P_P

Where P=patchwork flesh and L=Leather

with this, you get a hardened leather which can be made into a hardened leather armor suit, basically providing 1.5 extra armor protection than a normal leather armor.


Hope you consider one or both the ideas in a new update as it will add more uses for the newly added patchwork item.
