Don't Panic

The Butchery mod completely transforms the process of hunting mobs and animals, offering a more realistic and engaging approach to resource gathering. Instead of standard killing, you can use a special butchering knife - the facsimile blade, which allows you to obtain the whole corpse of a creature instead of usual drop items.

🔪 Main Features

Animal Corpse Creation

• Kill mobs with the new butchering knife to obtain their carcasses
• In settings, you can activate the special Butcher enchantment or allow any tools to obtain carcasses
• Sheep are an exception - they drop both wool and their corpse after death

Carcass Processing

• Hang carcasses on hooks for blood draining
• Place carcasses on skinning racks, moisten and treat with salt to obtain leather
• Butcher carcasses on hooks or butcher's table to get various meat types
• Settings allow using products from Farmer's Delight mod or vanilla food resources

Cooking and Decoration

• Place carcasses on spit with campfire underneath for meat roasting
• Use mincer for ground meat preparation from beef or lamb
• Break turtle shells with hammer
• Decorative blocks include barrels of cod and salmon, jars, brains in jars, singing fish, wall-mounted heads, barrels of bones and more
• Functional blocks: butcher's display (food storage), spike trap (deals damage and applies mining fatigue on contact)
