Compost Bin

by cubicfloof

Compost Bin is a Quilt storage block that composts items placed inside it and feeds the results into Hoppers and Redstone circuits.

QuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

Players insert items into the bin, and Hoppers can both fill it and pull finished compost out. Items are composted in cycles of 8 ticks, which is slightly faster than a filled vanilla Composter, so a Hopper feeding it at matching speed keeps the process running without manual work. The bin also emits a Redstone signal, letting builders react to the compost state in automated farms.

Compost Bin is meant for automated composting in farming setups where Hoppers already move crops and bonemeal. It requires Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) and Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) to run, and both must be installed beside it. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.1, with 1.0.0+1.21 for 1.21.1 as the latest release.

Key features

  1. Hopper input and output

    Hoppers can insert items into the bin and extract finished compost from it.

  2. Redstone signal output

    The bin emits a Redstone signal that circuits can read to trigger machines or indicators.

  3. 8-tick composting cycle

    Each composting cycle takes 8 ticks, a little quicker than a filled vanilla Composter.

  4. Storage-style automation

    The bin works as a storage block, so it fits into automated composting lines without extra blocks.

How it compares

Full comparison

Dirt Composting adds a different composting approach for Fabric and Quilt, with files for 1.20 – 1.21.11, and its license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. More Compostable Items is server-side required with the client optional, and its files cover 1.21 – 26.3 across four loaders, also under All rights reserved. Compost Bag is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and targets 1.20 – 1.21.1 on the same four loaders.
