🌞 Slaughter & Hide

Realistically butcher farm animals — hang, bleed, drain, and cut for meat, skin, and more.

---

✨ Overview

Slaughter & Hide turns killing an animal into a process. Down it, hang it from a Hook or Rope, let it bleed, drain it, then cut it up in stages for meat, skin and a head. Raw cuts go through cooking (smelting, smoking, campfire) and cold storage. Scope is intentionally limited to farm animals to keep the loop simple and predictable. A port of Butchery by Jmods, from NeoForge 26.1.2 to NeoForge 26.2, with identifiers renamed to this project's convention. Used with the original author's explicit permission. The original mod ships only as a compiled jar, so the port starts from decompiled bytecode. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the original author beyond that permission.

🎯 Features

🪜 Butchering Loop

Kill → hang from a Hook or Rope → bleed → drain → cut up in stages → drop meat, skin and head. Generic across the supported mobs.

🐮 Farm Animals

Cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, goats, horses, donkeys, mules and llamas (all colour variants) are wired into the loop.

🍳 Cooking Recipes

🧊️ Cold Storage — the Freezer

A 27-slot GUI workstation with a lid-open animation, particles and comparator output for keeping your cuts.
