Chests in tanner houses of the villages and in bridge and hoglin stable bastion remnant structures can contain 1-3 leather. There is no better time than now to look for them and if you are blessed the chance and you will indeed get some leather in Minecraft.
4) Villagers Gifts
Maybe you already know for Java edition – if you get status effect called Hero of the Village, villagers will throw items towards you, associated with their profession. Thus, one of the ways of obtaining leather in Minecraft is to have Leatherworker villagers to throw leather at you. You can have a bunch of them in your village and once in a while some of them will shower you with leather.
5) Fishing

Because it is junk category item, you have to avoid selecting a small area as big area but a very very small area so that no way of coming across treasure items.
Also, ensure that fishing rod you are using should not have luck of the sea enchantment in it. Therefore, if you are that desperate or possibly assigned to a challenging task, it is better for you to go fishing and expect the results that will come your way.
