How to Get Bones Without Killing Skeletons

Converting Bone Meal to Bones

Bone meal is abundant and renewable through composting. This mod lets you reverse the process and craft bones directly.

1. Collect bone meal (compost plant matter, find it in structures, or craft from existing bones)

2. Use the vegan bone recipe to convert bone meal back into bones

3. Stack and store bones for later use

Using Bones

Crafted bones function identically to skeleton drops:

  • Craft into bone meal for farming and composting
  • Use in decorative blocks
  • Combine with string to make bone blocks
  • Use in any recipe requiring bones

Renewable Cycle

This creates a sustainable loop: compost plants → bone meal → bones → bone meal again. You're never locked out of bone production, making skeleton farms completely optional. This is especially useful for large-scale farming operations where bone meal is constantly needed.
