The most basic materials in Minecraft are also some of the most important, as they appear in so many crafting recipes. Take for example leather, which you need to make books and the enchanting table set. Not only that but it is also required to make bundles and item frames. But getting it isn't exactly a cakewalk. Thank God we are here. So keep reading as we tell you the best ways you can get leather in Minecraft right here!

The fastest, easiest and most common way to get leather in Minecraft is by killing mobs that can drop it. Mob names and drop chances (default and with Looting spell) are shown in the table below: MobDefault QuantityLooting I QuantityLooting II QuantityLooting III QuantityCow0–20–30–40–5Donkey0–20–30–40–5Hoglin0–30–20 –4Horse0–20–30– 40–5Llama/Tradeslama0–20–30–40–5Mooshroom0–20–30–40–5Mula0–20–30–40–5

You can encounter these mobs while exploring the grassy Overworld biomes (this is the case for cows, donkeys, horses, and llamas), the mushroom island biome (mooshrooms), and the Red Forest of the Netherlands (hoglins). Mules do not spawn naturally.

Therefore, it is very easy to collect a bunch of leather relatively quickly. Another benefit of this method is that you can breed and breed all these mobs, so you can go on a killing spree and collect tons of leather in your base every now and then.
