You can also seal the barrel with any amount of compostable material (if divisable by 2).
You can also compost many different things like cattails, flowers, dry grass and much more.

I also think the fertilizer is a little too op
Its now configurable with configlib but I agree I will do a balancing pass soon.
I think the fertilizer added in this mode is too strong. Would it be possible to adjust the values in configlib?
I have added ability to adjust with configlib.
Do the images fail to work for me or are generally broken?

They're broken. Discord is not a reliable image host.
slathos Thanks for letting me know this should be fixed now.
Nezerith Good idea! I will add that.
darklord1622 Thank you for letting me know I will fix it now.
i don't know if this was intended but the Mineral fertilizer used to instantly fill the farm nutrient but now it works like a normal fertilizer
Could you add dry fruit mash to compostables?
LillyTheDragon I have added plant debris and cattails at your request along with some other stuff like flowers. Leaves were added by request and are not obtainable by default but mods do allow getting them. I also evened out the composting time. Everything is 10 days now. You can adjust all that as well as the amount of items it takes to make one compost which effectively lets you change the amount you get from composting.
Just wanted to ask if it is possible to make it so that in the config, you can set the amount of compost you get to something lower than the doubled amount this mod introduces?
Right now, you can't set it any lower than the default amount of the mod, or at least not through Configlib...
I personally don't mind the time it takes and the amount you get from composting, as it is in vanilla, but I do like that this mod lets you compost more stuff. =)
Edit: Is it possible to add Plant debris instead of leaves to the list of things that can be composted, since I don't believe there is a way in survival to get Leaves from trees, at least not in vanilla? Or maybe just add plant debris to the list? Maybe cattails as well? ^_^
Foxtrot88 I have added the configlib support.
TMG1122 Once that mod is updated I will.
could you add compatability with the compost bin mod?
seems to work in 1.22. tested in creative in a survival world, composting 64 rot takes 5 days. thanks for this mod btw :]
Foxtrot88 I will see what I can do.
Would it be possible to add a configurable timer and yield for each object through ConfigLib? For those of us who feel 10 days is way too much. I've composted soil with eggshells/orange peels/yerba mate/etc in less than a week of constant watering and churning, it doesn't take that long realistically...
Works on v1.22.0-pre.2
<3
RolledTaco Thank you so much!
SirStewie Yes I will add it in the next update.
Is it possible to get Rammed Earth added onto this? We got no use for it at all after changing housing material.
Monarch001 Yes it should be.
Is this compatible with the composter mod?
Synthetic_EUR I've added this as you requested.
Kournin Added :)
Fern compost anybody? I'm drowning in extra ferns and came here in the hope somebody made them compostable. You know, just like IRL? Maybe in your next update?
Could it be possible to add leaves as a compost ingredient? leaves are otherwise quite useless and just takes up space. This would make for a great early game compost source.
Mulciber Yes it works in 1.21.
RolledTaco Thank you for the work on this mod. It has been a great QoL improvement. If you are in the updating mood, either a confirmation this still works in 1.21 or updating to 1.21 would be great. Thanks again!
Gikame Just to clarify, 1.20.10? or 1.20.1?
I love this mod.
Is there a chance that you could make this mod for 1.20.1? I know I know. "Just update you foolish person". I just have other mods running too. And I am always so afraid to do this on the spot cause of how it used to be in Minecraft where a simple version switch can break so much.
If the answer is no, all good. No hard feelings.
Thank you for this.
Someone understands gardening! Yes, raw leftovers are ready to use in about a week, and are about half the size of the original pile due to settling. At least in summer. Winter takes a little longer because the middle stays too cold to heat and ferment. Thank you!
Guimoute I've done compost IRL for my backyard tomato/bell pepper/basil farm. It takes approximately 5~10 IRL days under constant hydration to form useable compost, not almost an entire month.
JakeDaFakeCake I am pretty new to modding this game but I will see what I can do. For now if you really want to change things you can unzip the mod and open the json file/s with any text editor and then save and rezip the modinfo and folder that were unzipped.
Foxtrot88 I'm glad this is helpful to you. I found that it was just too long compared to other things in the game too.
Foxtrot88 That's how it is IRL. You make compost over the whole winter with the waste from the spring and summer.
hey, i'm rather horrible at modding so i'm unsure how easy or complex this would be to do but a config for the duration (and possibly output) could be nice. Either way thanks for your addition to the quality of life in this game as the wait for compost is rather ridiculous.
God bless you, it's ridiculous that compost takes SO LONG in game to the point that you might as well be in winter by the time you can get yourself compost, and farming halts to a stop. This makes it far more tolerable and useful, thank you SO MUCH!!
