Pleather

Or Aged Leather/Old Leather. Could be made by using rotten flesh on a drying rack (made with sticks and string). It would dry based on climate/biome. The hotter the biome, the faster it dries. Pleather/aged/old leather could be the only way to make a backpack/sack for extra inventory space. This would give rotten flesh a new use, as it’s really only good for feeding wolves at the moment.

making the backpack/sack would be very useful early game, while still giving a hint of challenge to make it, as shulker boxes and Enderchests are the only mobile inventory options we currently have. We need something less “end game” to help with the start up.
