Better Rotten Flesh (Again)

Adds useful new ways to process and consume rotten flesh, plus new zombie feeding and healing behaviour.

BetterRottenFlesh

BetterRottenFlesh gives rotten flesh a few more useful purposes beyond being an emergency food source. It adds simple processing options for turning rotten flesh into Cooked Flesh, Leather, and other useful resources, along with salted variants and a new Flesh Broth food item.

BetterRottenFlesh also gives zombies a new use for the flesh they leave behind. Injured zombies and related zombie types can seek out dropped rotten flesh and consume it to restore health, even breaking away from combat briefly to feed before returning to the fight. Rotten Flesh Blocks also act as a food source for nearby zombies, drawing them in to eat from the block and healing injured zombies as they consume a portion.

Designed to stay lightweight and straightforward, BetterRottenFlesh also integrates automatically with OutpostZero and Mekanism when those mods are installed, avoiding duplicate items and making use of their existing content where appropriate.

Latest Update - Version 1.0.5

BetterRottenFlesh 1.0.5 adds salt, updates various salt related recipes, and improves OutpostZero compatibility.

Note

If OutpostZero is installed, overlapping Better Rotten Flesh items and recipes defer to OutpostZero's equivalents, including Cooked Flesh, Salt, Salted Rotten Flesh, Zombie Eyes and Soup of the Head. BRF recipes use OutpostZero's items where appropriate, while OutpostZero's furnace Cooked Flesh recipe is replaced with the Leather result. Existing BRF items are not automatically converted and remain available in existing worlds.
