Leather is a sturdy material formed from animal hides. It is required to craft Armor, Saddles, or a Bellows. Raw Hides must be treated through several processes: soaking, scraping, preparing, and tanning to turn them into Leather.

To get started you will first need to obtain Raw Hide, which is dropped when slaughtering many different Animals. Different animals will drop different sizes of Raw Hide.

Leather making will require several materials and tools. You will need:

• Limewater - a solution of Flux in Water
• Water
• Tannin - an acidic solution made from the bark of some trees.
• Raw Hides
  
  With all that on hand, you are ready to begin the leather working process.

First, raw hides must be soaked to clean them and loosen unwanted material before processing. This can be done by sealing some Raw Hide in a Barrel of Limewater for at least eight hours.

After soaking, Soaked Hides must be scraped which removes any excess material. In order to scrape hides, place the hide on the side of a Log. With a Knife or Scrapping Knife, 右键 on each part of the hide, and it will start to change texture.

After scraping, Scraped Hides must be sealed in a Barrel of Water for at least eight hours, for one final cleaning before tanning.

Finally, Prepared Hides must be sealed in a Barrel of Tannin, which is an acidic chemical compound―made from Tannin Rich Logs―that helps to convert the hide to Leather. After another eight hours, you can remove the Leather from the barrel.

An alternative to animal leather is Pineapple Leather. Which can be produced by first drying Pineapples, stripping them into string, and then Weaving the pineapple string into pineapple leather.
