Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Compostables mod effectively in your Minecraft world.

Getting Started​

Basic Composting​

  1. Craft or find a composter - Standard Minecraft recipe
  2. Right-click with compostable items - Including all the new ones!
  3. Collect bone meal - When composter reaches level 7

Tips for Efficient Composting​

  • Set up collection systems - Hoppers work great for automation
  • Use high-chance items - Cooked meats give 85% chance
  • Don't waste valuable items - Raw meat might be better used for food
  • Farm rotten flesh - Now it's useful at 50% chance!

Automation Ideas​

Rotten Flesh Farm​

Turn your zombie spawner into a bone meal factory:

  1. Funnel zombie drops into hoppers
  2. Connect hoppers to composters
  3. Collect bone meal below

Meat Processing​

  1. Raw meat → Cook in furnace → 85% compost chance
  2. More efficient than composting raw (65%)

Egg Farm Integration​

  • Chicken farms now produce compostable eggs
  • Automated collection straight to composters

Best Practices​

Early Game​

  • Compost rotten flesh from zombie encounters
  • Use dead bushes found in deserts
  • Dirt paths from villages are compostable

Mid Game​

  • Set up automated farms with hoppers
  • Cook meat before composting for better rates
  • Farm chorus fruits in the End

Late Game​

  • Industrial-scale composting arrays
  • Villager-powered composting systems
  • Multi-source organic waste processing

Villager Interactions​

Farmer villagers will now:

  • Pick up dropped compostable items
  • Use them in nearby composters
  • Help maintain your composting area

Pro tip: Create a villager composting area with multiple composters for passive bone meal generation!
