🔪 What is Butchery LITE?
Butchery LITE is a very lightweight version of Butchery. It only contains a handful of mobs that you would usually kill to obtain food. This version has removed a lot of the full mod and only contains basic features such as obtaining carcasses, hanging and bleeding then butchering for vanilla meats.
