Turn Mob Drops into Bone Meal

Many items dropped by mobs are now compostable, letting you recycle loot you don't need.

Compostable Mob Drops

Items like rotten flesh, spider eyes, fermented spider eyes, phantom membranes, rabbit hide, slimeballs, magma cream, and ink sacs can all be composted. These typically have low to moderate composting chances.

Composting Method

1. Collect mob drops from your farm or mob grinder.

2. Drop items into a composter by right-clicking and placing them, or use a hopper system to automate the process.

3. Low-chance items take longer, so patience or volume helps.

4. Harvest bone meal when the composter reaches level 7.

Setup Ideas

  • Connect your mob grinder output to a hopper system feeding into composters.
  • Use multiple composters running in parallel to handle large quantities of drops.
  • This is especially useful for farms that produce excess rotten flesh or spider eyes.
