About this project
What does Harder Flesh add?
This is an avrage mod for minecraft enjoyers. Here you could commit the fun act of becoming a food source for yourself; You can harvest food and leather, from yourself. However remember, nothing in life is free, and God shall punish you for your deeds. You will get a health reduction.
This mod also offers different organs that also could be use as an alterative food source.
How to get food:
To harvest food you would need a mod item. Shift and right-click, with that item to get that food item.

Here are those mod items that you can use for food harvesting:
![]()

Also on players death, the player would be dropping different organs and food.

Foods:
The mod also offers many different food types. All ranging from organs to flesh. Here are some;
Brain, Eyes, Flesh, Heart, Intestine, Kidney, Liver, Lungs, and much more.
Compatibilities;
Sewing Kit- Compatibility with recipes, and added some new for other Minecraft items (saddles and leather horse armour)
Corpse- Would recommend not using it. Works fine in survival however, known to cause some crashes in multiplayer. Use Death Chestinstead, works fine… we will fix it in the 2.0 update.
This mod i heavy inspired by these mods;

Info for modpack makers:
This mod is based on a tag usage system, where all items with the tag; CUT_ITEM will work as a food harvester. So to make this mod compatible with other mods, then you need to use an other mod, such as CraftTweaker https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/crafttweaker , to add the tag for an item you would like to use.
