Harvesting Custom Resources from the Composter

Recycling Food Scraps

In vanilla Minecraft, the composter only turns plant matter into bone meal. With the Compost Mod, the composter functions as a versatile recycling machine that accepts food waste and scraps to yield completely different items.

1. Place a composter in your world or locate one in a village.

2. Hold your food scraps or unwanted food waste in your main hand.

3. Use the food items on the composter to fill its layers, just like standard composting.

Collecting Your Rewards

Once the composter reaches its final layer, interact with it to collect the final output. Depending on how compositions are configured in your world, the composter will produce alternative resources rather than standard bone meal:

  • Common building materials such as dirt.
  • Sustenance items like apples.
  • High-tier treasures, including a rare chance at diamonds.

Repeat the process whenever you have surplus food waste to steadily convert organic leftovers into valuable gameplay resources.
