Certain animals will also drop special items called hides that you can then use to make leather in the game. If you keep reading, the list below will tell you all of the mobs in Minecraft that you can kill to get leather.

  • Cows
  • Mooshrooms
  • Horses
  • Llama
  • Hoglins
  • Donkeys 
  • Mules

As a side note, you can double the amount of leather you get from these animals if you use a tool enchanted with up to Looting III. Also, for each with the highest enchantment Looting III, you can get up to a maximum of five extra leather drops. You don't have to just harvest leather from animals as well, Piglins will some times barter for it if you give them a gold ingot, and it spawns in chests at both Villages and Bastion remnants.
