Leather armor consists of the following pieces, a Leather Cap, Leather Tunic, Leather Pants, and Leather Boots. To craft a full set of leather armor, you will need a total of 24 pieces of leather. Also, note that Leather armor has the capability of being colored with Dyes. In addition, leather is also a sub-requirement to craft items such as Book Shelves, Books and Quills, Enchantment Books, and Enchantment Tables. Leather is most commonly obtained as a drop from killing Cows, Mooshrooms, Donkeys, Llamas, Mules, and Horses, which all offer a 0-2 chance of receiving leather upon death. Leather is also a 0-1 drop from killing Hoglins and a drop from foxes that happen to be carrying leather. In addition, leather can also be randomly obtained as junk while fishing. To craft leather from scratch, you'll need to find rabbit hide, which can be obtained from killing a Rabbit - which offers a 0-1 drop chance. Alternatively, rabbit hide can be received as a potential drop from killing a Fox, or even a gift from a tamed Cat.

2. Attack and Kill the Mob
Once you find one of these mobs, you need to attack it. When you attack the mob, it will turn pink as it takes damage.
