How to craft Leather in Minecraft

#1 Collect 4x Rabbit Hide

Rabbit Hide is an item dropped by rabbits. You can get 0-1x per rabbit (up to 4x with Looting III).

Fox sometime will be spawned with Rabbit Hide in their mouth. You can slay them to get Rabbit Hide or just drop a random item on the ground so the fox will pick that up and drop 1x Rabbit Hide.

Another hard way is to tame cats. Each tamed cat will have a 70% chance to give you a gift after you wake up from bed. And the gift contains a Rabbit Hide with a 16% chance.

#2 Other ways to Get Leather

The most efficient way in the early game is to kill passive animals like Cows, Mooshrooms, Horses, Donkeys, Mules, and Llamas. They will drop 0-2x Leather (up to 5x Leather with Looting III). While Hoglins only drop 0-1x Leather.

Fox can be spawned with 1x Leather in their mouth. You can either kill them or drop a random item on the ground.

Fishing has a 0.4-1% chance to get 1x Leather.

You can also find Leather in looted chests in Bastion Remnant and Village. They usually contain 1-3x Leather.

#3 Finish off crafting a Leather

When you have 4x Rabbit Hide, simply put them in a 2x2 shape in your crafting grid (No Crafting Table needed) and get 1x Leather.

What is the give command to get a Leather?

The command to give yourself a Leather is: /give @p leather 1

Now you have Leather, time to make some bookshelves and enchant your gears.
