SU Compostables
SU Compostables lets the composter accept 107 more organic items, from raw meat and stews to dyes, carpets, wool and bones.
What it does
Once a player places an organic item in a composter, the item can now be turned into compost when it appears on the list. The additions take in cooked food, eggs, dyes, carpets, paper, leather, bones and string. Farmer villagers also pick up compost made from the new items, so farms that already supply compost to villagers keep working with the extended list.
Each new item has its own chance of composting, and the chances were set by hand to keep progression balanced. Blocks are handled differently: farmers cannot pick up grass blocks, dirt, dirt paths, rooted dirt, podzol, mycelium, nylium, muddy mangrove roots, bamboo blocks, bone blocks or wool blocks, so players compost those manually.
The server requires the mod, and a client installation is also required. It runs on Fabric with Fabric API, needs Minecraft 1.21.5 or later and Fabric Loader 0.16.14 or later, and works alongside Villager Compatibility. Files are released under the Apache License 2.0, and the code is open source. Game versions run 1.21 – 1.21.11 with 12 release versions, and the latest file is 1.0.48 for 1.21.11.
Key features
107 compostable items
The composter accepts a wide set of items that were not compostable in vanilla, including meat, stews and wool.
Balanced compost chances
Every added item has its own compost chance, tuned so the new entries do not make composting trivial.
Farmer villagers collect compost
Farmer villagers pick up compost produced from the newly added items, not only from vanilla organics.
Minimal performance impact
The added recipes are light enough that the mod does not add noticeable load on the server.
