PoopFertilizer
by daguerpedro
PoopFertilizer lets animals produce poop that a composter turns into bone meal, so farms can run on animal output.
What it does
Animals based on the vanilla AnimalEntity class can produce poop over time. A player or a hopper can collect it, and a composter processes it into bone meal as fertilizer. The mod is tested with other mods, and the author recommends making a backup of the world before adding it to an existing save. It runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.6, where it is released under the MIT License and is open source. Only the Fabric loader is supported, and the mod runs on client and server.
Key features
Animal poop
Animals that extend the vanilla animal class produce poop periodically, which becomes the source of the fertilizer.
Composter conversion
Poop collected by hand or by hopper is placed in a composter to make bone meal for crops.
Automated bone meal farms
Hoppers feeding animals into a line with a composter can supply bone meal without manual collection.
