flaying

A hunting, carcass & butchering overhaul for Minecraft.

Flaying replaces standard instant mob drops with physical carcasses that you need to butcher to get items and meat.

Features

• Carcasses: Mobs leave behind 3D bodies when killed instead of immediately popping into item drops.
• Butchering: Right-click a carcass with a sword or blade to butcher it. Required hits scale with the mob's size and health.
• Enchantment Support:
  • Looting
  • Fire Aspect
• Decay: Carcasses rot and disappear after 5 minutes (configurable).
• Sound effects, blood particles, and swing cooldowns during butchering.

Configuration

Settings can be changed in flaying-common.toml:

• excludedMobs - List of mob IDs that will drop vanilla loot as usual (default: Ender Dragon, Wither, Slimes).
• requireSword - Set to true to require a blade/sword tool for butchering.
• dynamicFlayHits - Scales required butchering hits based on mob max health.
• decayTicks - Time in ticks before a carcass rots away (default: 6000 / 5 minutes).
