Composter Compatibilities
by xFrah
Composter Compatibilities extends the composter so that more foods, bottles, buckets and modded items can be composted, with server-side changes only.
What it does
The mod marks a wide set of items as compostable, including foods and vegetables, with meat handled as a separate case that can be set in the config. Drinks, bottles and buckets are accepted too, and the composter returns the empty container once it has finished. Items crafted from compostable materials become compostable as well, and anything usable with bone meal can be composted.
Compostability is set through item tags and properties, so the list can be adjusted without changing recipes. The mod is noted as tested with Farmer's Delight and several other crop and food mods. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 and 26.1 – 26.3, and the code is under Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0, which means the mod is not open source.
Key features
Compostable foods
Vegetables and most foods can be placed in a composter, with meat treated separately and controlled by a config option.
Containers returned
Drinks in bottles and buckets are accepted, and the composter spits out the empty container when the process is complete.
Tag-based compostability
Items are added through tags, so modpacks can define which items compost without editing recipes.
Derived compostable items
Items crafted from compostable ingredients and blocks that accept bone meal also become compostable.
