About Plant-Based Leather and Chitin

This mod provides crafting recipes for all types of leather, Study Chitin, and Venom Sacs. All recipes are plant-based and do not require any harming of creatures. For those seeking a more peaceful life, or for those who simply want an alternative.

All recipes are intended to be somewhat on-par with their regular equivalent in terms of difficulty. Some of the ingredients will have you traveling to towns long since abandoned, now only inhabitat by evil spirits, while others will have you swimming to the depths of the ocean.

I tried to pick ingredients that don't have a ton use outside of these recipes and that make some sense with real life equivalents. Each recipe builds into their direct item. You will be crafting Light Leather directly, not some plant-based Light Leather variant. This is to make things a little more consistent and easier to manager.

Leather is made in the Farmer's Workbench and can be found under the Farming tab. Each leather variant has 2 different recipes:

- Apple based Light Leather, made from Apple and Plant Fiber - Aloe based Light Leather, made from Blue Aloe and Plant Fiber - Coral based Medium Leather, made from any coral branches and Seaweed - Cactus based Medium Leather, made from any cactus and Fire Flower - Allium Mushroom based Heavy Leather, made from Spotted Allium Cap Mushroom, White Hydrangea, and White Cap Mushroom - Blue Mushroom based Heavy Leather, made from Cyan Flower, Blue Cave Weed, and Blue Common Mushroom.

Sturdy Chitin is made from any Crystal Shards, Blood Leaf, and Brown Common Mushroom. It can be found in the Workbench under the Tinkering tab.

Venom Sac is made from Poison Tree Fruit, Carmine Parched Thorn, and Tree Sap. It can be found in the Workbench under the Tinkering tab.

Some of these will have you scouring the world in search of them, but just know that none of the ingredients are particularly rare. They all have specific places they grow that you can seek out.

In the future I would like to move all of these recipes to their own tabs within their benches (or maybe even make a custom bench), but I have yet to figure out how.

I'm still working out the balance of these recipes. The ingredients might change over time. I don't want them to be too easy, but I don't want them to be a pain in the ass either. So let me know how that has worked out so far!
