Hide is a drop from animals that is used to make Leather and the Straw & Hide Bed.

Obtaining

Raw Hide/Sheepskin

Raw Hide is dropped by Pigs, Cows, Deer and sheared Sheep, and drops in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. Only one Raw Hide is dropped by each animal, but larger animals drop larger hides. Bears and Cows are the only animals that drop Large Hides.

Note: unsheared Sheep drop Sheepskin, which can be crafted into Wool with a Knife. One Raw Hide is created as a by-product of the crafting.

Soaked Hide

Soaked hides represent the stage in leather tanning in which the hides have been soaked in a lime solution to loosen the fibers. Larger hides will absorb more limewater. Seal your hide in a Barrel of Limewater and wait for it to soak.

Scraped Hide

Scraped Hides represent the step in leather tanning in which the fibers are removed from the hide, making a clean surface that won't rot as easily. Scraping a soaked hide requires a log placed on its side. A soaked hide can be placed on the log by right clicking. Using a knife, each portion of the hide needs to be scraped clean. Finally, the hide can be removed from the log.

Prepared Hide

Prepared Hides represent the step in leather tanning in which the now scraped hides are washed in water to remove the basic lime used earlier in the processing. Once washed, they are ready to be tanned. Larger hides will use more water. Seal your hide in a Barrel of Water. Once complete there will be Prepared Hide in the Barrel.

Usage

A Large Raw Hide can be used to create a Straw & Hide Bed. To create the Straw & Hide Bed, right-click with the Large Raw Hide on two adjacent Thatch blocks. Small and Medium Raw Hides cannot be used to create a Straw & Hide Bed.

Prepared Hides are used in producing Leather. Turning Prepared Hide into Leather requires a Barrel of Tannin. Once filled to the desired amount, place the Prepared Hide into the Barrel and seal it. You will not be able to open the Barrel until the process is completed. Once complete, there will be Leather in the Barrel. Larger hides will require more tannin, but will produce more leather.
