Description
Compost more stuff! Turn excess organic material and rotten food into nutrients for plants.
Use excess organic material, excess food, or rotten food from Food Funk to generate compost - which enhances plant growth like bonemeal.
1.14.4:
- Improves Minecraft's composter! Makes many more organic items compostable by default.
- Composter makes compost (configurable, for example can be reverted to "minecraft:bonemeal")
- Compost is weaker than bonemeal, working only 50% of the time (configurable)
- Composter takes more time to generate compost (configurable)
- Since composting generates heat, small puffs of steam will occasionally appear (configurable)
- Make more items compostable in the composter by adding their ids or tags to the configuration file or to compostable_level tags
- Composting values are 0 to 100. The default Minecraft composting values are 30, 50, 65, 85, and 100.
- To override default configuration and make an item not compostable, set the value to 0.
- To make your mod's items compostable, add the items to the compostable_level1 - compostable_level5 tags (which correspond to the default composting levels) in your mod.
1.12.2:
- Make any item decompose in the compost bin over a specified time (via configuration).
- Default configuration entries support vanilla Minecraft and other mods.
- Any item from any mod can be specified, and specifiers include support for metadata and ore dictionary names.
Requires Wumple Util Library.
