More Composter Variants

by LieOn Studios

More Composter Variants gives the vanilla composter a set of wood-type recipes, so players can craft composters from the planks of other mod wood types.

What it does

Vanilla composters are crafted from one fixed recipe. When other mods add new wood types, that recipe takes precedence, so the matching composter variants cannot be crafted. More Composter Variants addresses this by supplying a recipe for each added wood, letting the composter follow the planks a player already has.

Composter variants are useful for builders who keep a themed set of blocks, and for servers that run many wood-adding mods together. The mod is published for Fabric only, with files for 20 release versions, and snapshot builds are published alongside them. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License.

The mod's own latest Fabric file is 1.8.4 for 26.2, published 2026-03-23. Its first release came on 2024-06-20. A related datapack or mod can resolve the same recipe conflicts across several More X Variants mods, which the author notes as a workable route for a mixed setup.

Key features

  1. Wood-type composter recipes

    Each supported wood type gets a composter recipe, so composters match the planks of mods that add new woods.

  2. Resolves vanilla recipe conflicts

    The vanilla composter recipe no longer blocks the variant crafting, so the matching composter can be made from its planks.

  3. Works with compatibility variants

    The mod is meant to sit alongside the More Compatibility Variants family, which covers the wood types of other mods.

  4. Single-purpose recipes

    The mod changes only composter crafting and adds no items, blocks or behavior of its own.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who add several wood-type mods and want composters that match them. Builders who keep a themed palette will find the variants most useful.

How it compares

Full comparison

Compostater is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 under the MIT License, and it is open source, with the same client and server environment. More (Fishing) Rod Variants is also client and server and Fabric-only, but it is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 and is not open source, so it adds fishing rods instead of composter recipes.

What the author says

How can I craft vanilla Composters using modded wood types from Biomes o' Plenty, [Let's Do] mods, and others? Unfortunately, the vanilla Composter crafting recipe has to be overridden for the crafting of the variants to function.
