🧟 Overview

Dried zombie meat. Surprisingly safe to eat.

This mod turns useless zombie drops into a functional food & resource system. Cook flesh into Jerky, cook Jerky again into Dried Jerky, and convert 2x Dried Jerky into 1 Leather — perfect for early-game survival.

All recipes use standard Minecraft mechanics. No special tools or mods required.

  • Place Zombie Flesh in furnace, smoker, or campfire with fuel
  • Output: Jerky

Cook Jerky → Dried Jerky

B _ _
  • B = Bread
  • J = Jerky
  • C = Carrot

🔧 Updates

  • Fixed naming: “Jerkey” → Jerky
  • Always Edible: Eat Jerky even when full.
