More Compostable Items

by daenvil

More Compostable Items makes many vanilla foods, mobs' drops and other items compostable in a composter, including rotten flesh, poisonous potatoes and spider eyes.

What it does

The mod changes which items a composter accepts. Starting with version 2.0, items it adds can be composted with a right click, the same way vanilla compostable items are, and can also be fed by hoppers or dropped inside the composter. Covered items include several cooked meats and fish, along with spider eyes, fermented spider eyes, phantom membranes, turtle scutes and rabbit hide.

The mod is built on a datapack, which is why right-click composting is limited. On Minecraft 26.3 and later the datapack works without trouble, and the author reports that a 10-player multiplayer server ran it without noticeable performance loss. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is also offered as a data pack for servers.

It needs to run on the server, while players may leave it out, so only the server side has to be set up. Files cover 1.21 – 26.3 through 17 release versions, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Vanilla-style composting

    Many vanilla items gain a compost chance, so they can be used to fill composters like other food.

  2. Hopper and drop input

    Hoppers placed above a composter and dropped items both feed it, matching the vanilla behavior.

  3. Right-click composting

    From version 2.0 the added items are composted with a right click, as vanilla items are.

  4. Cooked foods and mob drops

    Cooked meats, fish and mob drops such as phantom membranes and turtle scutes are included in the list.

Questions

Why do some composters not accept the added items?

Composters placed before the datapack was installed do not register the new items. Breaking the composter and placing it again lets the datapack register it. Composters generated in the world or summoned by commands do not work with hopper input.

Which Minecraft versions have right-click composting?

Starting with version 2.0 the added items can be composted with a right click. Older versions before 26.3 accept only hopper and drop input for the added items.
