Agree with this notion. Same holds for leather though. Other than use that in item frames, if a notorious builder like me ever gets to furnishing his huge structures, I'm also just stacking that resource.

Stealth carpet has two sides to it ... others can use it too. :)

I'd favour the introduction of a fire-resistant block based on leather: fire-resistant 'hide cover'. That can be applied as a sheet coverage on defensive structures like rooftops and outer wall sides. This is in line with medieval practices and may give a meaningful use of hides, besides for clothing, in the mod. Imagine two types: one horizontal placeable like carpet tiles, and one vertical, placeable like paintings. Texture will be leathery and a dark brown and grey stained colour. Coverage of block supporting it will be complete. Crafting can be done on vanilla table with three leather or warg fur, and one bucket of water, one bone meal, two sulphur and one salpeter. This also creates more uses for other resources that normally just stack up ... :)
