Leather should be a bit more common

So with the changes of the ore distribution coming in the Caves and Cliffs update, with Iron being a little harder to gather to create a full set of armor. I'd say we have to make leather a little more common than what it is right now. This will create a proper armor progression than just having new players mine for small patches of iron just to create an armor set, assuming they are not in any nearby structure that provides the armor or leather.
I don't know how this would work on every possible biome that the player might spawn in apart from biomes with readily available rabbits and cows to craft a leather armor set, but at least for the other biomes that don't have this opportunity, it should have a variation of obtaining it.

  The problem with cows and other passive mobs is that weird spawn behavior. At the current drop rates, you are more likely to get raw beef than leather, proven when you have a cow crusher. You'll get a stack of leather and nearly 3 stacks of raw beef. The current spawn behavior makes it that you'll kill all of the cows in a biome and you have to wait several minutes before a new set spawns in. Also I am referring to spawning in a biome where villages are far from spawn like an island or ocean spawn.
  
  I suggested this in combat since I am pretty sure the update will be implemented after the Caves and Cliffs update dropped.

  I think leaves should drop the leaf item which can be turned into fabric(kinda like a mix of wool and leather).
